The One with her eight career title

Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova won her second WTA Tour title this month, rallying past Alicia Molik of Australia 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 Saturday in the Qatar Open final.
Sharapova, seeded second, captured her ninth career title. She won the Tokyo Open this month, then took two weeks off to recover from the flu.
Molik, seeded fourth, broke the 17-year-old Russian in the third game for the first set and appeared in position for her second title of 2005 after winning in Sydney, Australia, last month.
Sharapova made two breaks to even the match. In the third set, the Russian returned extremely well and broke Molik in the fifth game. She then held serve and closed with an ace.
