Maria Sharapova Covers Shape Magazine, Shares Her Own Shapely Training Regimen

Maria Sharapova’s cover shape, so to speak, is stunning, but of course, that’s expected of one of the top tennis players in the world. In the cover photo for Shape magazine, Sharapova wears the admittedly not very practical combo of a bikini and jacket, however she does offer some practical advice on health and sport from her own life and career. The gorgeous Russian tennis player explains that she has never counted calories or gone on grueling diets to stay in shape. Instead, she attributes it all to her training regimen.

After an unpleasant loss at Wimbledon, Sharapova will soon put all that training to good use, at the upcoming U.S. Open in New York. The Russian athlete commented for Shape that the championship is a favorite of hers.

“It’s my favorite place to play—the energy, the people in the crowds, the excitement. It’s one of the biggest stages for the tennis world.”
