Fresh from her French Open 2014 triumph, Maria Sharapova is already looking forward to her next target: Wimbledon, which is scheduled to start on June 23 at the All England Club in Southwest London.

Sharapova, who bagged her second French Open title in three years after defeating Simona Halep in the finals, said that her success at Roland Garros will not matter later this month, saying that she will remain hungry in order to have a good chance of winning her sixth Grand Slam title.

"I don't care what my results were in the past. You start from a clean slate," said Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champion. "That's how I go into a Grand Slam. I don't think that I've won it before because when you have the mentality that you've won it, then it gets boring. You have to go out there hungry and want to compete for more."

Outside of her inconsistent serve, Sharapova had an impressive tournament at Roland Garros, showing resiliency throughout the tournament to improve her French Record to 20-1 over the last three years.

In the French Open finals, Sharapova blew a 5-3 advantage in the second-set tiebreaker, but she still managed to get back on track en route to winning her fifth Grand Slam title.

"She's an extraordinary competitor," said former French Open champion Virginia Ruzici, Halep's trainer. "I put her in the same category as (Rafael) Nadal or Serena Williams, players who give nothing away, who fight, who want it so much, and who play their best tennis when it matters."

However, the Wimbledon will be a different tournament from the French Open, but Sharapova vowed to be at her best in London later this month, insisting again that she has no room to celebrate and dwell on her recent success in Paris.

"Even though you always remember those incredible moments of holding that trophy, you got to try to erase that from your mind because you got to create new ones," Sharapova said.
