.MariaSharapova opens up: 'When you're an athlete, there's so much more than just doing your sport. The inspiration aspect that you're giving out to the world is on another level.'
She's since won four more—the U.S. Open in 2006, the Australian Open in 2008, and the French Open in both 2012 and 2014—and the professional tennis player eventually launched her own business venture—a line of chocolates and candies called Sugarpova—in 2013. She's become an example of an athlete with a tight grip on her career, image, and all of her endeavors, whether tennis-related or not.
But just before she took the court to play a doubles match with Madison Keys against Stephens and Simona Halep, Sharapova spoke to, and how tennis has changed her perspective on learning on her own and doing what she wants. Here, she reflects on inspiring the next generation of tennis pros, fighting for equal pay in all arenas, and the biggest lessons she's learned both on and off the court.The U.S. Open is always a big deal.
That comes from being an example. When you're an athlete, there's so much more than just doing your sport. There's so much more that you're involved with. The inspiration aspect that you're giving out to the world is on another level. Sometimes you don't really acknowledge it because you want to be so present in what you do, but you also realize how you inspire so many young girls and boys to pick up the sport, to give it a chance, to learn from it, to mature from it.
