Maria Sharapova was asked by Fast Company what she would do if she had free five minutes during the day. The Russian player said: “Call my boyfriend and tell him something silly”, she said referring to Alexander Gilkes, who she has been dating since 2016.
On her routines, Sharapova added: “When I’m training, the most important on switch is a healthy breakfast. I make a green smoothie with romaine lettuce, avocado, spinach, mint, and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. I also buy chestnut bread from the local farmers market and eat it with blanched almond butter.”
On the best places to go on holidays in, the five-time Grand Slam winner said: “The Belmond Residencia in Deia Majorca, Spain. I love that part of the world and recently stayed at this beautiful property—I would go back in a heartbeat!
We also hiked to eat paella at Saforadada, which was one of two ways to get to the restaurant. It’s either hiking or a boat. The hike back up after the meal is a trek, but at least it works off the meal. Also, I love road trips, and driving in Spain always feels easier.”
On founding her company Sugarpova, the former world No. 1 said: “I’ve had a sweet tooth for as long as I can remember, and it’s the reason I decided to start my own candy company, Sugarpova, seven years ago.
We just launched our new line of all-natural gummy candies, and they’re so good! The strawberry cream flavor is probably my favorite.”
On her favorite charity to donate to, she concluded: “My mother was pregnant with me when Chernobyl exploded 30 kilometers from where we lived.
Many of my contributions have been toward families and regions affected by the disaster.”
