Miami (EUA) - Um dos nomes mais importantes treinados desde a infância por Nick Bollettieri, a russa Maria Sharapova publicou novas homenagens ao treinador norte-americano, falecido no começo da semana, aos 91 anos, e considerado um dos maiores descobridores de talento do tênis.

🤍🕊You turned on the gymnasium lights at 5am with the brightest (&whitest!) smile. You opened the door to your home, the grounds on which you gave us the freedom to pour our hearts and sweat on. The scoreboard never dictated your commitment to show up for us. Boy is that rare!➡️ pic.twitter.com/fEhuJupPAU
