harapova has represented Russia in Fed Cup, although her appearances have been controversial. She has been featured in a number of modeling assignments, including a feature in Sports Illustrated. In July 2008, as a result of her success both on and off court, she was the world's highest-paid female athlete.
Sharapova is ambitious ("When I was working my way to the top of tennis, I didn't say I was number two, I said I wanted to be number one") and also seeks to be a role model ("A great tennis career is something that a 15-year-old normally doesn't have. I hope my example helps other teens believe they can accomplish things they never thought possible"). As of October 2008, she is coached by her father, Yuri Sharapov, and former player Michael Joyce.
fter being out of tennis for almost ten months, Maria Sharapova is now having a comeback with her winning fashion statement as she walks onto the court wearing a military-style jacket and medium length skirt that made her looks like a majorette
