"Sporty Mix
The "taste" of victory"

So did she create a sweat-scented candy?

Why doesn't she just get a tattoo of a logo across her forehead?

That will prove whose property she is.

Can most people understand the joke of my "Here's the Thing" post?

Is it some kind of pop culture reference?

I've been out of the pop culture loop....

Like she doesn't have enough cash. All for publicity. Some people's dignity doesn't cost so much.

Playbilly,

You are so right! She's one step away from being a prostitute.

"its why she is far and away the top female earner in sport"

Sue, you should qualify that statement.

She's the top female athlete/product-pitcher but NOT the top earner on the tennis court. And her title count and on-court prize money earnings pale in comparison to that of several of her predecessors and contemporaries.

I don't dislike Masha or begrudge her success at pushing product off the court. But, like Kournikova before her, her product placements have now eclipsed her record on the tennis court. And now that she's coach-less, she's not likely to win more than 2 matches at the upcoming US Open.

If she doesn't find a coach who will coddle her to death real soon, I see her exiting the sport next year after a dismal season.

"you might be right though, she needs to find a real coach"

She's had several including former champion Jimmy Connors whom she recently fired.

Arguably, Masha's celebrity & success off the court have gone to her head like many of today's pampered athletes and entertainers after a short season in the limelight. When she first hit the tour her personal narrative was compelling and her hunger and will to win were readily evident.


She can now earn as much peddling sugar-coated morsels and trinkets off the court as she can battling her biggest nemeses and the elements on a tennis court.

Considering that she all but gave up her childhood to lift her family up as well as the occasional trophy, I can't say that I blame her for focusing on her personal brand at this point, even at the expense of tennis. Tennis pros tend to have a short shelf life on tour and most quickly fade to obscurity after retirement.

Exactly javero. the Williams get all the hype for making it out of Los Angeles!! but you rarely hear anything about Maria making it out of the USSR

Anna Kournikova had it even worse and tuffer.

I will disagree with you on one matter don't forget she had a career almost ending shoulder surgery that she came back after a lot of hard rehab

All the men and women who compete at that level have the physical strength, self discipline, and mental toughness that is hard to comprehend. At any one time, there are just a handful worldwide who can maintain that level of skill for seven to ten years. To do it year after year while under the microscope of international attention adds a greater burden.

A few years ago I attended a breast cancer fundraiser at La Costa in California. It was do in conjunction with a women's tennis classic. There were about 500 in attendance. Sharapova arrived at the dinner a little late following a lengthy match with her hair still dripping wet from a quick shower. She visited most of the guests at each table. Later, during a live charity auction she bid on a pure breed golden retriever puppy against an obviously wealthy couple. The bidding got to about $20,000.00. Sharapova won. She wrote a check for the puppy and then gave the puppy to the people who had been bidding against her. Yes, she can well afford it; but it was a lovely gesture.

No one is perfect. To me her sins seem pretty minor.
