Not only is she one of the most talented tennis players on the circuit, Maria Sharapova showed she can also handle much bigger balls. Footballs of course.

It doesn’t seem like it has been nine years since the Russian won her only Wimbledon title and she will have her work cut out to try and prevent the Serena Williams juggernaut claiming yet another title – she has lost in the last 13 encounters with the American – but the world number three showed that she has a talented touch in other sports too.

She was seen yesterday holding her own in a kickabout with her team at the famous English venue and looks a dab hand.
