Tennis player Anastasia Myskina once did not want to play for the Russian team if Maria Sharapova was present.
Maria Sharapova and Serena Williams were once a tennis couple who didn’t like each other. They are different in physique, personality, and are rivals, so both of them always have disagreements.

Serena once scolded Masha as a “bastard” because the Russian tennis player accidentally hit her with the ball. Sharapova also accused the American tennis player of having an affair with the coach. There are many other things that make couples not want to consider each other as friends or colleagues.
But it’s not just Serena, Anastasia Myskina, a tennis player from Russia, also doesn’t like the way of “treating people” of fellow tennis beauty Sharapova.
Sharapova has had an impressive career, winning 5 Grand Slams and becoming one of the most admired tennis players in the world.
Masha became famous in 2004, winning Wimbledon at the age of 17, and defeating Serena herself in the final. Sharapova was among three Russian Grand Slam champions that year; Myskina (Roland Garros) and Svetlana Kuznetsova (US Open) are the other two.
The 42-year-old former tennis player, Myskina was a key player, helping Russia reach the 2004 Fed Cup final. However, at that time, Myskina did not want to play on the same team as Sharapova because she thought the junior tennis player was disrespectful. respect yourself. The 2004 Roland Garros champion affirmed that he would not have been on the Russian team if young tennis player Masha was present at that time.
That year Sharapova was not called up to the team. The 2004 Fed Cup final ended with a 3-2 victory for Russia. The Aries team won the women’s team cup for the first time, Myskina contributed greatly with 2 singles wins and 1 women’s doubles win.
This is said to be the reason why 11 years later (2015), Masha played for Russia for the first time at the Fed Cup. As a result, the Russian team lost to the Czech Republic in the final, winning second place.
At the Fed Cup, Russia won the championship 5 times (2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2021) but Sharapova did not participate in all 5 of those victories.
