Apart from when Wimbledon’s on telly, the only tennis player we really give a toss about is Rafa Nadal. And even then it’s only his arms we’re truly interested in.But having said that we must admit that sporting-ace Maria Sharapova did grab our attention with wearing this nudey swimsuit thing for her cover shoot with Mexican Esquire.
The second-best female tennis player in the world (Yeah! We know stuff like this) showed off her athletic figure for the May edition of the magazine which is on sale now.And the 26-year-old has kept it simple and has avoided the usual heavy-handed kohl look often favoured on cover shoots so she’s successfully avoided looking like a weird tranny version of herself.
Last spring Maria called off her engagement to basketball player Sasha Vujacic.Speaking about the split she said: “It was obviously a challenging decision, you know, from both of our ends.”That sounds quite a lot like someone talking about a tennis match.
She added: “We have a tremendous amount of respect for each other. I still would love to call him a friend. We spent really great years together.”Maybe she should try going out with a popstar next. In our extensive experience, people from the worlds of music and sport often make a really good romantic match.
