Maria Sharapova Reveals Her Future in Tennis As a Mother

The Russian tennis ace, Maria Sharapova revealed that she won’t be returning to the tennis courts upon becoming a mother in the future. “I appreciate things on Tour more every day. I think about what the body needs to do to reach a high level. If I opened this chapter, I would spend all the time on it. I have a good friendship with my mother, who was very young when I was born. I want to have that kind of relationship with my son too,” she said.

Maria Sharapova will not be competing on the tour like her fellow colleagues, Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka, and Kim Clijsters who are balancing their motherhood along with their professional job.

Presently, Sharapova’s run on the WTA Tour has been substandard and she is struggling to win matches on the professional circuit. Thoughts about her inconsistency have been revolving and she spoke about the other people’s voices on her performance. “People always have something to complain about. Our job is to have more good days than bad days in court. We have to keep delivering good tennis,” the former World Number one said.

The Linz Open 2006, Maria Sharapova was sidelined from the tournament this year due to her shoulder injury, but she did not miss interacting with her fans and the media in Linz, Austria. She asked about the future of the Austrian tennis on the women’s track.

“Things do not happen over one day. It takes a lot of time to develop talents, knowledge and build a facility. There are many things that need to come together to be successful. The hope is to have a lot of children and that they get inspired. One day they may wake up and think differently. It can give them a different perspective on their goals,” she mentioned.

On Thursday, she withdrew from the Luxembourg Open 2019 pertaining to her shoulder injury.
