More than Maria Sharapova, this signed racquet up for auction at Equation 2010 is a story about generous friends. When Akshay Kulkarni, one of Equation’s steering committee members gifted Maria’s racquet to The Foundation, he became the first Indian to donate a piece for our international section. How he came to possess this racquet is another link in the generosity chain. Maria Sharapova is an IMG client and Ravi Krishnan, head of IMG India, gifted this piece to Akshay, a huge tennis fan. We thank them both.

Perhaps the most photographed female tennis player in history, Maria Sharapova rose above her stunning good looks to silence her critics by winning three Grand Slams and becoming world no. 1 four times, the last time in May, 2008. For her fans, it’s as much for the 22 WTA titles over the last six years, as a United Nations Development Project Goodwill Ambassador and the face of Nike, Prince and Canon, that Maria can truly claim to be one of the most recognisable names in world sport today. For us, her wins at Wimbledon, the U.S and Australian Opens is recognition enough!
