Maria Sharapova on the Loneliness of Losing and Winning | WSJ

[@kokonana4086]

What an extraordinary tennis player! Love the way she talks about her family background and everything. Really shows how much love and dedication they have for one another in the family. No wonder she's so well grounded. Always grateful and absolutely gracious.

[@greenkitty82]

munu numu She is an extraordinary human being too. She has had a real rags to riches story - she didn't speak English when she went to the States from Russia as a child, struggled to fit in, was bullied at the tennis academy, had no money and had to wear hand me downs and herself and her Dad barely could afford anything to eat. She's a real tough warrior woman. Very inspirational.

[@NZMuzz]

@@greenkitty82 if everything goes her way then all is fine but the truth is the opposite... a ruthless and viscous individual who would kill in a heart beat to get her own way.... Also the family history is absolutely not what you say it is... your living in fairyland. A true example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing indeed... she is a shark and would cheat to win... oh hang on.. she did!

Fire whoever did the makeup and lighting.

[@originalmix2546]

Agree

[@WhatsMyCue]

She straight up looks sweaty or greasy. Her people did her dirty by not fixing this before they taped.

[@ultrakwon]

The problem is twofold: first of all, the lighting is too harsh, causing glare on her face. Second, the camera used has too much dynamic range and sharpness, so we could see every pore, wrinkle, discoloration, etc on her face. Techies are always unconditionally demanding better and better dynamic range, but it's actually the worst thing to happen to people's faces, because it makes it too contrasty, and every minute imperfection will be magnified beyond 20/20.

Bar_ssim oh, that is true. I was shocked when heard her speaking English for the first time. I was like “Masha? Or should that be Mary?” :D By the way, she was on Russian TV a year ago, and there is a slight accent in her Russian. Not even the way words are pronounced, but overall rhythm of speech. It is noticeably different.

[@senorgato70]

I wish Maria's personal relationships with other tennis players was much better. She kept practically every other player at arms length and it really rubbed them the wrong way. She seems like she's just a woman full of heart and it seems like a shame that the other players probably have never seen that part of her. And her drug violation didn't help things. At the same time, she was being Maria and not fake so credit to her.

Bromide ( १८५७) was the first effective antiepilepsy drug,but is now obsolete. When phenobarbitone was introduced in १९१२ it was found to control patients resistant to bromides. TH next success was the discovery in १९३८ of phenytoin ( a hydantoin) which is structurally related to the barbiturates. Since then many drugs have been discovered,but phenytoin still remains a drug of choice in the treatment of major epilepsy. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi..Maria Shara pova..you are in tough business...Manufacturing...Marketing..Sale...Finance...keep it up...🌙🎤💛🌟😀

[@pyrophoresist1497]

Very insightful interview with a journalist asking hard-hitting questions instead of the usual padded softball questions in Maria's interviews. Maria Sharapova came on to the tennis scene before today's era of limitless social media & all kinds of firms sliding in your messages to give you free stuff or contracts. Back then, it was mostly large companies /MNCs that could bother to endorse you. In her memoir she talked about how one night she was pulled from her dorm at IMG to play in front of some businessmen on one of the courts, sign in a contract afterwards. It was then she realised she was "earning money for her family". That's where her win at all costs attitude comes from. Winning tournaments =prize money+endorsements. She's benefited so much by LUCK from being scouted by a top agent like Max Eisenbud who gives priceless financial advice, gets the right industry contacts (for manufacturing her candy), books interviews with media outlets at strategic times (for her book, candy etc). She's childhood friends with Estelle Laporte, who works in communications for... the WTA. Now you know why she & her ventures have had so much EXPOSURE that no other WTA star or player was able to replicate. Of course she'd say all this is because of hard work. Yes, PARTLY. She has drive & ambition(unlike some I the WTA). But as the old adage goes, it's WHO you know, not WHAT you know. Contacts with the right people can mak you rich, even with a high school degree

[@DanielGarcia-bq3dl]

Sharapova está muito linda nesse vídeo.

[@charliemagri1669]

Why should Maria have to explain herself, because just read her book and see a person who has it all, but when she speaks, she gives so much back. Her book is called Unstoppable, but Simply Beautiful in every way is more exact.

[@AoDk673]

@@mikhaillionel6352lmao. Sharapova is the true definition of success in and outside tennis. She may not win the most grand slam but she did win all of them. A complete slam. She reached no 1 and won many other titles. If she wasn’t bothered so much by her injuries, she would be a dominant force in her years. And outside tennis, she’s just the IT girl too. You and your pathetic jealousy can go inside the dustbin.

All the comments so far is how pretty she is or how she has let herself go because of a little messy makeup. Yet she is one of the most talented female tennis players and until before the scandal ( for which she was dragged through the nine circles of hell). This interview was about her. Not her game or her looks. Why do people lack the capacity to look for the good in a human being ? Shouldn't we try to emulate the virtues of other's rather then get ourselves caught in the vices?
