Maria Sharapova shares why United States are second home for her
Maria Sharapova described how her ideal holidays are like. The Russian player said: "I love the water a little bit more than I'd love winter vacations in the snow. Maybe because I was always, I grew up in Sochi, in Russia. I was born in Siberia, then I was in Florida and now I spend a lot of time in Los Angeles. I'm always around water and even though I don't go in the water very often, that feeling like the peacefulness of water is a nice feeling. And whenever I go on vacation, I want that as well. But I think it's more of an escape and usually I do a lot of research and I have a lot of, as we all do, notes in my phone and I put a lot of places that I want to visit. And when I have two or three days—which is usually all I have in between some events or if I have a vacation, it's usually a maximum of five days. So I'll go back to that list and I'll choose a place that I'm keen on visiting, and I'll go there and explore. And sometimes it ends up being an amazing trip and relaxing and sometimes it's not what you expect, but at least you did it."
Sharapova was asked if she trains on holidays: "Well training, training while on vacation is impossible because you're, not only is it mentally so difficult knowing that everyone around you is on holiday and you have to wake up at 6:00, then you might as well just be in a training center in the middle of nowhere and just doing your job. So when I do take that time for myself or for my family and spend time with my boyfriend, it's really, it's that time for us, and it's so nice to be able to unplug. And I think it does always take at least 24 hours or 48 hours to really kind of get in the groove of, 'Okay, now I can exhale and I can just, I can do nothing.' You know, you're not tied to responsibilities or daily responsibilities that we all have."
