World Cup a bigger lure for men than beauty Sharapova

Maria Sharapova may be one of the world’s most beautiful women, but she knows she cannot compete with England playing in a World Cup.

In beating China’s Na Li 6-2 6-4 to reach the quarter finals of the dfs Classic, it was Sharapova’s 12th consecutive win on the grass at Edgbaston, and the 200th overall in her career.
