Maria Sharapova reveals leopard-print underwear mix-up at Australian Open
Maria
Sharapova says her Australian Open preparations have gone smoothly
despite her lack of recent on-court action, all barring a mix-up at the
Melbourne Park laundry over a pair of leopard-print underwear.
The
Russian is very familiar with Melbourne Park and showed little signs of
rust as she practiced on court on Saturday ahead of the tournament, as
she looks to go one better than last year when she finished runner-up.
But one thing Sharapova would not expected on Saturday was a question about laundry mishaps.
Nevertheless she had an anecdote immediately to hand after the quirky inquiry was made.
'I actually just returned a pair of underwear that wasn't mine, like 45 minutes ago. Funny you ask that,' she laughed.
'It
was a female pair of underwear, not male. It was leopard. I'm like,
'that's not mine'. Any more laundry situations I need to clear up before
we get on with our day?'
Sharapova,
Australian Open champion in 2008, pulled out of her title defence at
the Brisbane International two weeks ago because of a left forearm
problem, one of a string of injuries to have dogged the 28-year-old
since the middle of last year.
But
the fifth seed said she was good to go in her bid improve on her
runner-up finish to Serena Williams in her fourth Melbourne final last
year.
