Quote For The Day

“Let’s say you want a global female athlete. It’s really just Maria. She is global because tennis is global, [and add] the fact that she is Russian, so she is not American but Americans think she is American. It makes her more appealing. Not to take anything away from Venus and Serena, they are great champions, but they don’t mean as much, say, in Korea as Maria does.”--Max Eisenbud, Sharapova's agent at IMG
