Maria Sharapova — the name has oomph and glamour attached to it. When the four-time Grand Slam champion showed up in New Delhi yesterday there was that unmistaken mystique in the tennis majesty. The six-foot-two World No 2 Russian expectedly turned heads when she walked in with an air of elegance. It’s her first visit to India where, she herself admitted, she has countless fans. She didn’t forget to talk of the dosa (pancake made from the batter of rice and black lentils) she had and how nice it tasted.
