Tennis Anyone?
Collecting stamps doesn’t make you a ‘Dork’ Maria!“It is something that was introduced to me when I was very young,” the 22-year-old said.“I have been very lucky over the years to travel to some amazing countries and I always try to collect stamps from every place I go.
“I am hoping one day that I will be able to hand my collection over to my kids.”
Usually influential for her racket skills and ‘marketers dream’ looks over her off-court hobbies, Sharapova’s admission has contributed to a more fashionable image for the most traditional of pastimes.
Stamp sales have increased by 30 percent in the last month according to ebay, while the Royal Philatelic society has noticed a significant rise in its membership.
Sharapova first admitted to the unlikely hobby in 2006, though at the time, she appeared less than reluctant to divulge the information, muttering; “Everyone’s calling me a dork now.”
