Stand-off Between Sharapova and WTA Settled
Well, did we ever have any doubt? I’m actually a little surprised the WTA compromised with Maria Sharapova about the photo shoot before the Italian Open which began yesterday. Obviously this should be a lesson to all of us: don’t underestimate the negotiating powers of a Russian raised in America.
Sharapova haggled with the WTA until the officials condensed the four- or five-hour shoot into 90 minutes. The world No. 2 accepted the deal.
Actually I kind of liked what Sharapova had to say about the whole ordeal: “When I set foot in Rome, my priority is to play tennis. I already did the talking, and now it’s time to play tennis.”
I never thought I’d say this, but…you go girl.
