I just found out that Maria Sharapova has been to Ho Chi Minh City in the start of 2007.
As she was passing by a bridge called Bang Ky with her limousine, she saw children playing with rackets but no balls. She then asked her driver why the children weren't playing with balls. Her driver then said that they were too poor to buy balls. After that experience, Maria said that she was going to build a tennis school called Sharapova Bangky in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam to help the poor. She was in talk with the government of Vietnam but no one has responded to that.Is it rumours? Well I guess it is! Do you want to know the real story? Then leave a comment
Take a look at Maria's answer on her official website:QUESTION: Maria, do you read what the press says about you, and if so, do you ever get really angry?
Maria's Answer:I don't read the press, but when they write something so crazy and so wrong, my friends will text me or call me and be like " you did what" and I have no idea what they are talking about. For example, there was a big story a few weeks ago that I am building a tennis academy in Vietnam and I was secretly in Vietnam looking at land. I have never been to Vietnam and I have no plans to build a tennis academy anywhere in the world. I don't how people can just make this stuff up. I find it funny, sometimes!!!
