Maria Sharapova has fired back against comments made by Serena Williams by accusing her of being a homewrecker who shouldn’t throw stones, reports the New York Post[1].
As previously reported by NewsOne[2], Williams stated in an interview with the Rolling Stone that a tennis player (presumed by the interview’s author, Stephen Rodrick, to be Sharapova), was, to paraphrase, getting on her last nerve:
“There are people who live, breathe and dress tennis. I mean, seriously, give it a rest.” Serena exits the car and the conversation moves on to a top-five player who is now in love. “She begins every interview with ‘I’m so happy. I’m so lucky’ – it’s so boring,” says Serena in a loud voice. “She’s still not going to be invited to the cool parties. And, hey, if she wants to be with the guy with a black heart, go for it.” (An educated guess is she’s talking about Sharapova, who is now dating Grigor Dimitrov, one of Serena’s rumored exes.)
Sharapova did not take the remarks lying down.

“At the end of the day, we have a tremendous amount of respect for what we do on the court. I just think she should be talking about her accomplishments, her achievements, rather than everything else that’s just getting attention and controversy,” Sharapova said.
“If she wants to talk about something personal, maybe she should talk about her relationship and her boyfriend that was married and is getting a divorce and has kids,” Sharapova continued. “Talk about other things, but not draw attention to other things. She has so much in her life, many positives, and I think that’s what it should be about.”
Williams has been linked to coach Patrick Mouratoglou, but neither has confirmed their relationship extends beyond the court. When Mouratoglou was asked about the topic at the French Open this month, he smiled and replied: “Sorry. I don’t understand the question.”
Ironically, Mouratoglou was at Williams’ house during her Rolling Stone interview.
Williams has yet to respond, but we’re not sure Sharapova wanted to open this box.
