I feel pretty
|  | | Maria Sharapova | | Whatever tennis titles Maria Sharapova wins, she always will be seen as a fashion star. This month, the WTA Tour wanted her to participate in a four-hour promotional photo shoot before a tournament in Rome. Sharapova initially opposed the photo shoot, but eventually compromised after, she said, the WTA threatened her with a US$300,000 (€191,000) fine.
"It was not just waking up and going on set and doing a four-hour shoot," Sharapova said on Friday at Roland Garros. "You have to do wardrobe and makeup and hair, which is another two hours."
Her links to the entertainment world came up when a reporter told Sharapova she is singer Mariah Carey's favorite tennis player - and that Carey wants to go to the U.S. Open this year. "Oh, really? Well, I'll get her a ticket, no problem. Maybe not box access but she'll get a good ticket," Sharapova said playfully. "She'll get a front-row seat in exchange for a good ticket at her concert."
