With regard to the summary of Reach for the Top: 

Maria Sharapova, born in Siberia, Russia, in 1987, led a charge of Russian players who achieved huge success in women’s tennis. She brought her own brand of glamour to tennis by designing her own unique tennis outfits. She wore a dress with over 600 crystals sewn into it at the 2007 US Open. 

When she was four, Sharapova got her first tennis racket from the father of Grand Slam, Yevgeny Kafelnikov. Maria attended a tennis clinic when she was six in Moscow, which was run by Martina Navratilova, who recognized her talent and recommended that Sharapova should go to the USA to study at a famous tennis academy in Florida. 

When Maria moved to the USA with her father in 1994, neither of them could speak English. They were tight on funds and commuted to the tennis academy on a bicycle every day. It was one of the toughest times of her life. Sharapova became a professional in 2001 and a year later became the youngest girl ever to reach the junior final at Wimbledon.

Sharapova was 17 when she won her first Grand Slam title at Wimbledon. She is one of several top players who are known for loud on-court grunting. When reporters asked her about this in 2006, she told them to “put your grunt-o-meters down…and just watch the match”. Sharapova has been the world’s highest-paid sportswoman and the women’s number one several times.  

Santosh Yadav first climbed the peak in May 1992 and then did it again in May 1993. She is one of the few women in the world to have climbed Mount Everest twice. Born in 1969 in Rewari District of Haryana state in India, she is an officer in Indo-Tibetan Border Police. She is an alumnus of Maharani College, Jaipur. Living in Kasturba Hostel she joined Uttarkashi's Nehru Institute of Mountaineering. In her own words “The hostel was facing the Aravallis. I used to watch villagers from my room going up. But after a while, they used to disappear. One day, I decided to check up myself. There was nobody but a few mountaineers. I asked them if I could join. Their surprising affirmative answer motivated me to take to climbing. I saved money and enrolled for a course at Uttarkashi's Nehru Institute of Mountaineering.” While studying she trained herself to achieve two great milestones in life: mountaineering and Indian Civil Services and was successful in both. She prepared for her IAS exams in a hostel provided by Indian Mountaineering Federation at Connaught Place, New Delhi. She was conferred Padma Shri award in 2000.
