Former Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova and actress Anne Hathaway. What do they have in common, apart from their charm and their elegance? A photo in which they look beautiful on the shores of Lake Como, in Italy. The post on Maria Sharapova’s Instagram page that portrays them together, in a few hours has reached 70 thousand likes.
But what were the two beautiful women doing on Lake Como? The two girls have been busy in the last few days in Milan during the fashion week. After their Milanese engagements, Maria and Anne, who are very good friends, left the hustle and bustle of Fashion Week behind to spend a few hours relaxing and wearing sportswear on our lake.
Sharapova, at Villa La Cassinella in Lenno, would have met the coach Riccardo Piatti. Lake Como is a much loved location by movie, entertainment and sports stars. Only this summer, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, Michael Jordan, Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker and George Clooney spent their time on the enchanting shores of the most famous and romantic Italian lake.
Maria Sharapova’s career
Maria Sharapova has won five Grand Slam tournaments and she is one of the ten women’s players in history to have completed the Career Grand Slam (alongside Maureen Connolly, Doris Hart, Shirley Fry, Margaret Smith Court, Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf and Serena Williams), milestone reached on 9 June 2012 with the victory of her first Roland Garros.
In her career, she has won a total of 36 women’s singles tournaments, including the WTA Finals in 2004 and 12 Premier category tournaments. In 2012 she was awarded the silver medal in singles at the London Olympics, in her only Olympics ever played.
Despite her numerous injuries, she has been one of the longest-lived players in the Women’s Tour, having won at least one singles tournament for thirteen consecutive years (one year less than just Steffi Graf, Martina Navrátilová and Chris Evert).
She was the highest paid female athlete in the world for 11 consecutive years from 2004 to 2015. She is also considered, together with Anna Kurnikova and Ana Ivanovic, one of the most beautiful and fashion athletes ever. We also recall Sharapova is a candidate to join Moncler’s board of directors.
Double R, former Rph-Ruffini holding holding, owner of 54,414,063 ordinary shares of the company led by Remo Ruffini, presented the list of candidates for the appointment of the board, including Maria Sharapova. Sharapova, CEO of Sugarpova candy, is investing in fashion.
