Maria Sharapova on Friendship in Tennis #shorts

[staunchlyspeaking]

She’s more competitive than most NBA players nowadays

[amb]

I’m glad that Maria was honest. Anyone who watched her play, would know that she didn’t form friendships on the tour because she wanted to win and wouldn’t let her peers get in the way of that

Maria is upfront & explains things intelligently when she is being interviewed.
She's not only beautiful, she's an entrepreneur with a great head on her shoulders. I have a lot of respect for her.

[jimw.]

Beautiful, talented, and intelligent...
A hard combination to beat.

She right. Sometimes friendships get in the way of competitiveness. When you play against a friend you’re not at youre best.

Maria has always been a great speaker and a classy beauty as well. ❤

Sharapova's one-liners are some of the coolest and funniest quotes. e.g. when asked about how she feels about her injured opponent after a victory she answered, "...it's hard to be a tennis player and mother Teresa at the same time..."

Maria Sharapova is a glowing glimpse of what the International Tennis Hall of Fame looks like.

just look at her, you could get old just looking at her and still would never get over her.
god did took his time to make something this beautiful.

Maria shines in many ways. Apart from being one of the very best female tennis players of all time, i would say easily amongst the top 5, she has always been such an honest human being. That is such a rare quality, and the sign of a great soul inside a human body. She carries her integrity with such noble spirit as she journies through her life.

What a beautifull girl is she? Amazing. She was one of the best famale talented tennis players of the world.

You can be friends and still whoop their ass on the court. Federer was great friends with Wawrinka when they played against each other but still beat him down 23 times and probably stopped Wawrinka from getting a couple more majors.

[mayankdewli]

She's the perfect example of American individualism. Personal milestones before everything. You can be a great tennis player and also be friends with your competitors. Yes everyone is in their little bubble but still we are all in this together

[digdarshansingh]

Great answer Dear Maria Sharapova. as a professional player u cannot live With casual approach

[athenstar]

That's what I like about her, straight forward, no sugar coating, no nonsense attitude and the way she rises above whatever situation she's in.
She may not be the G.O.A.T. in tennis but she's one of the toughest cookies in women's sport.

[parklaneyid]

Tennis is such a great sport keeps the mind strong!

[Mary-grmr]

Back when tennis was about tennis and determination ❤

​​​Chris Evert did an interview recently saying back in the 70's the first few grand slams she and Martina used to have lunch and practice together on the day of the final.
Evert says she's grateful she played in an era where the women formed great friendships on the tour.
She says today it's all about their agents, coaches, nutritionists, trainers, publicists, etc
