Buy a racquet and beat the guy with it until he lets you in?
Sharapova apparently had a bit of an intro. Seems Martina Navratilova was touring a tennis center where Sharapova played as a girl, and noted that she had talent. That was the incentive for her to go to Florida.
Hooray for Maria! So nice to see a woman champion who actually looks female, and not like Mike Tyson in drag.
Martina says that she doesn’t remember this, but has said it about a number of talented kids. Maybe Bollettieri sometimes takes a flyer on kids who he thinks will pay off down the line?
Did you see Serena in the SI swimsuit issue this year?
Now hush up or she’ll kick both our butts.
