Maria Sharapova about herself

The Siberian Times has interviewed Maria. ‘I am really happy and proud of where I come from,’ Maria Sharapova said. ‘It’s fun to hear when they announce me and they don’t just say born in Russia, they actually say I was born in Nyagan, Siberia. ‘Every time I hear that, you can hear the crowd go ‘whoa.’ Like, I don’t think people actually realize that’s where I was born. When they say it, I feel so proud. ‘It’s like when they say I’ve won a Grand Slam or been Number One, when they say where I am from, I get goosebumps because I am so proud of coming from there and getting to the position I am in today.’

The first romance happened in 2005, with the American tennis player Andy Roddick, who was 5 years older than Mary.
Then she came out with Charlie Ebersol, a young producer and the son of a major TV magnate. They were surprisingly nice pair – both rich, both famous. However, Charlie gave his way to Slovenian basketball player Sasha Vujacic.
With Sasha Vujacic Maria developed the strongest relationships. A year after they met, in the fall of 2010, 26-year-old athlete gave his girlfriend a ring. They both were ambitious and full of the most ambitious plans, seriously thought about family life. But the relationship ended in the collapse. “It was a wonderful time for both of us, but we became more and more difficult to combine graphics. Of course, we have great respect for each other. I still think Sasha is my very close friend”.
