Sharapova: sleeping with tennis racket is pleasure
Many famous sportsmen are superstitious. Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova confessed recently that she observes certain rules before serious competitions. She believes those rules bring her luck.
At first the sportswoman refuses from yellow colours in clothes a week before tournament. Suspicious Masha is convinced that "colours of leadership" may scare the luck off.
Secondly, Masha should go out to the court with copper coins. Not to lose them during the game Masha sews coins into the skirt. It is better if coins are in use in the country, where tournament is held.
Thirdly, Russian sportsman must speak on native language before game. Masha confessed that sometimes she speaks with a mirror because there are no Russian-speaking people beside. Sometimes she talks with radio tuned on Russian station.
Finally the night before tournament Masha spends with tennis racket! Sportswoman said that she even has a special pillow for a "friend". "It is a pleasure to sleep with a racket, - jokes Maria. - It doesn`t kick, pulls blanket, stands up in the middle of the night to drink water or snores. Moreover, embracing the racket during sleep I always win the next day".
