Maria Sharapova comments on the good and bad side of social media
In an interview to W Magazine Maria Sharapova spoke about the good and bad sides of social media channels. The Russian player is very active on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Social media were not there when Sharapova broke through at the age of 17 years old in 2004. "I'm not sure. I was an only child and I was around my parents all the time, and I still am. I was really in this security blanket, and I think social media is kind of the only thing that's changed. It's beneficial, but it's also difficult for younger generations because you're constantly thinking about not just opinions, which is normal, but also constantly developing content and showing the world and your fans what you're doing, and sometimes not doing it on your terms, but doing it based on what other people are expecting of you. I think maybe that would be difficult, but I certainly didn't have to face that when I was younger", said Sharapova.
On her social media management, the former world No. 1 added: "I love sharing, there's nothing that would be out there if I wasn't comfortable with it. I think that comes with age. It definitely comes with age, and I'm certainly much more comfortable in my skin. With everything, with style, with things that I say, and the time that I spent. You're not only a little bit wiser, but you're just experienced in life and you're able to make decisions that maybe are a little bit selfish, but they make you a better person."
