What did you learn from this text about Maria Sharapova?
Answers
Answer:
1. She preferred watching the men: When she was growing up in Florida, Sharapova said her parents would take her to tennis tournaments, such as the one in Miami in the Spring. However, she didn’t go to see the ladies. “I actually preferred going and seeing the men playing,” she said. “I remember loving going to Marcelo Rios' matches and having a good laugh, watching some fun tennis, Kafelnikov as well.”
2. Speaking with Sasha: The time difference is tough for Sharapova while she’s in Melbourne and her fiancé, Sasha Vujacic, is playing basketball in Turkey. But they make it work and are still able to chat “twice a day, morning and evening,” according to Sharapova. “It actually works out as good as it can. When I wake up, it's evening time there. Going to sleep, it's morning time here. It's as good as it can be,” she said.
3. Cool, calm and collected: After Marcos Baghdatis had his infamous racquet-breaking episode, Sharapova was asked if she had ever broken a racquet. She responded, “Personally I haven't broken too many in my career. Don't recall breaking one during a match. Have broken a couple at practice.”
