She’s not had the best year in her tennis game.So Maria Sharapova was certainly looking for a break from the stress of her career as a pro athlete when she took to the beach on Tuesday in Cancun, Mexico.
The 26-year-old bombshell was spotted showing off her toned and pert bottom in a two-piece bikini as she splashed in the sea.Pinning her blonde tresses up into a topknot, the highly recognisable tennis star shielded her eyes from the sun in a pair of sunglasses.
Displaying her washboard abs in the dark toned two-piece, Maria looked stunning as she waded into the surf.At one point her bottoms appeared to get into a bit of tangle, which she quickly righted with a discreet adjustment.The high ranking tennis player was clearly thrilled to be frolicking in the warm waters as she flashed a few contented grins throughout her dalliance in the waves.
The Russian beauty looked to have been joined by a friend for the beach outing, as she slowly made her way into the green waters.After her brief dip, the 6ft2in athlete enjoyed a solo stroll along the sands, her skin still glistening from the sea bath.
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.
From being a teen sensation to becoming Tennis’ poster girl, the timeless beauty Maria Sharapova bids adieu to the sport aged 32
