Though she's not back on tour yet, Maria Sharapova revealed some details about herself during a speed-dating round of questions in Stuttgart last year. While you probably won't learn enough to score a date with the Russian, the former world No. 1 revealed some of her favorite things and personality traits, like that she is an early riser and a realist.

Instead of taking part in the Porsche Grand Tennis Prix this week, Sharapova has been dealing with a shoulder injury that required surgery. She may be back in time for Rome, where she's a three-time champion and defending 350 points from last year's semifinal run.

Though fans learned a lot about Sharapova in the fun dating video, no one knows for sure when the Russian will be back on court. She hasn't competed in a tournament since St. Petersburg in January.

At least, she had a stellar 32nd birthday in the midst of uncertainty.
