MIAMI, FL -- Russian Maria Sharapova, the 2004 Wimbledon champ who on Thursday powered her way to the NASDAQ-100 Open final in Miami, revealed the secret, or perhaps hindrance, to her tennis success -- six toes on each foot.
Seen changing her shoes and socks Friday courtside before a practice session, Sharapova was caught and then spoke of the not-so-secret (at least in Russia) genetic abnormality that has propelled her to success, or is possibly the cause of her sometime-suspect movement during matches.
"It is an old story in Russia, there are a couple Russian players who have known since juniors," Sharapova was overheard talking to an astonished coach of a practice partner."They are quite cute little piggies."

I used to know a great swimmer (he ended up on the Olympic team of 1968) on my team back in the 60's who had webbed toes........ always thought he was cheating.

Actually......... if you are right....... I was thinking originally when I saw the picture of that foot, that there was
NO WAY that was the foot of an athlete......... the toes are just too weak and small!
Do you know if this is a gag????

Thanks for the picture, what a nice way to start my weekend! My mom was visiting my sister in Palm Springs and they got to watch him (and Sharapova/Dementieva) play some matches over the week she was out there in the Pacific Life Open. My mom said he is even cuter in person!!

I would probably react the same as your wife! :)
I did meet Jimmy Connors once at a restaurant on Sanibel Island. He was a jerk and I felt like saying that personally, I was a McEnroe fan...

Maria Sharapova's trainer attends to her foot during her match against Ashley Harkleroad of the United States.
To: CanadianBeer
I just realized you were Canadian. That explains that the first thing that popped into your brain when you saw the picture was "that's a bad sunburn."

Don't post pictures of her to me.
I'm a girl, plus I don't like her.
