they are supposed to be great tennis players first and foremost, this is why i feel half of Sharapova's stans are rooting for her because she's beautiful.
Simona has a very sweet personality and she's so focused on everything she does, her interviews in Romanian are really nice to watch but her English, while it got obviously better, still represents a bit of an issue when it comes to showcasing her inner playful side.
maybe if she kept her old boobs people would pay more attention to her anyway.

It's not just tennis, athletes with personalities and an
edge are always more popular. True half of Sharapova's fans don't actually watch tennis and just use her as desktop wallpaper material, but she plays her role well.
The advertisers definitely care about personality too because they need to market the game. Now that Serena is out, for example, ESPN is gonna be like

at the ratings for the remaining women's games.
