Russia Wins The Fed Cup With An Unexpected Guest In The Sidelines
Russia won its third Fed Cup title in four years the last Sunday, but the team had an unexpected participant. Maria Sharapova, currently with a injured shoulder and who has never played a Fed Cup for Russia before, was cheering up the team from the sidelines, wore the team’s uniform and even celebrated the victory walking with the team around the court, holding a Russian flag.
But her teammates and active players of the Russian team in the Cup put her loyalty and her reasons to be on the tournament to question, as the players that are not available for the Fed Cup can’t play the Olympics.
