Five-time Grand Slam tennis champ Maria Sharapova is euphoric these days. The 28-year-old Russian tennis ace beat Britain's Johanna Konta during the women's singles match of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships in London. Sharapova's triumph over tough-playing 23-year-old US Open champ Coco Vandeweghe in Wimbledon underscored her winning streak. Up next is a face-off with Serena Williams in the Wimbledon semi-finals, and then the US Open that will unfold in New York.
Notwithstanding an intense training regimen, it is not all competition in the mind of the 6-foot-two stunner when she is on a tennis tour. As Sharapova wrote in her Instagram account, revisiting Paris is always a fun experience. During such quick, comfort breaks, especially during summer, the tennis champ has found time to stroll in the parks and admire the lovely landmarks.
Apart from Paris, where she spent several weeks, Sharapova has been to Indonesia, China, Japan, and many other memorable places across the world. The tennis sensation has been known to enjoy novel finds like a fashion accessory in a charming boutique; she has also been spotted trying out new dining destinations.
With a high net worth currently estimated to exceed ₤120 million, Sharapova can have the time of her life in any of these places whenever she wishes. Being a brand ambassador for global firms like Porsche, an endorser of brands like Nike, and co-advocate of Avon against domestic violence, among others, has brought her to many different places and enriched her perspective.
Being involved in projects and traveling to various places has shown her that there is still a lot that needs to be accomplished, Telegraph reported.
When she is not showing her fierce side on the tennis court, Sharapova sweet sells products ranging from fragrances to her own line of candy treats called Sugarpova. Indeed, the prominent tennis player can lead a charmed life away from all the glaring media attention, yet the competitor in her remains strong, Bloomberg noted. She is out to give her best shot in upcoming tennis tourneys.
For now, she relishes every downtime she can get and continually posts selfies on social media, while bracing for even more pressure-filled tennis matches.
