Last weekend, Maria Sharapova emerged victorious at the Porsche Grand Prix, winning her first title of the 2014 season and third-straight in Stuttgart.

Sharapova only needed two sets to take down No. 1-seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the quarterfinals and Sara Errani in the semifinals. Facing Ana Ivanovic in the final, she dropped the first set, but elevated her game to win 3-6, 6-4, 6-1.

Here are some of the best shots from the finals.
