Sharapova being a diva

spoMaria Sharapova made a big bruhaha about two weeks ago when the WTA asked her to do some publicity photo shot before the Italian Open. She posted her displeasure in her website stating that the photo shoot is a distraction and that she wants to prepare for her game. She added that the WTA threatened to fine her $300,000 if she refuse to participate in the photo shoot. A statement by the WTA state that this is one of her obligation along with other players and she knows that.

Well I say she is just being a big diva. She may be ranked number 1 due to the retirement of Henin, but expecting to be treated differently from other players is just plain devoid of class.

The WTA and Sharapova eventually reached a compromise where the photo shoot was reduced to 90 minutes instead of several hours. Even with the compromise, she still compained about it. What do you know...
