A young athlete, but already held champion Maria Sharapova, offers her fans a book of memories called Unstoppable: My Life So Far. 30-year-old star of tennis courts felt that now is the time to write memoirs. In a book that will be available for sale, starting September 12 in US bookstores, Maria frankly tells the story of her life.
Confrontation Serena
In her opus, Maria Sharapova could not ignore one of the eminent rivals, Serena Williams. Here's what the Russian sportswoman told about the legendary confrontation with the black goddess of courts:
"You will not believe, but Serena is bigger and taller than it seems from the photos. She has large legs and arms, a lightning-fast reaction, and this plunges into shock. She still acts on me so that I feel like a little girl. "
Maria is a little flirtatious, she herself is above her rival for as much as 5 inches. Although, in strength, it is possible and inferior. This did not prevent her from winning Serena in 2004 at Wimbledon. The author of memoirs then was only 17 years old, and her opponent - 23. This is how Maria recalls this:
"I'm sure Serena is hateful to me. In fact, she was beaten by a child! It turned out that I took away from her what she deserved, I saw her eyes at the time of the loss. I think she will never forgive me for her tears. "
Shopping, as therapy
Perhaps after the publication of the book, the therapists will lessen the clients! Maria Sharapova talks about her way of getting rid of depression:
"Do not even think about putting off shopping therapy. When you feel that your hands are down and you need to register urgently for a conversation with a therapist, go to the store for a new pair of shoes, and then to a party. Believe me, if you guessed with shoes, then you will not have any problems. I have such a course of thought: why spend 3000 dollars on talking with a doctor, if you can buy shoes much cheaper and you'll go to them for a single day? ".Read also
