In an interview with the Tennis Channel last year, Sharapova spoke about her love for travelling with her son and revealed how she explored the world with her two-year-old.

"It's been one of the best things that's happened to me in my life and I get to teach him and grow with him. I get to learn through his actions and his findings. He's exploring the world and I get to explore with him. He has very long eyelashes and I don't know where they come from but I appreciate them," Maria Sharapova said.

Along with this, she also spoke about her motherhood and mentioned that negotiation skills are significant for parenthood.

"It's going. There's a lot of negotiation skills that go on with parenthood which I didn't know that the negotiations that I learned through my career in business and in the sport that I would apply to parenthood. But I'm learning about that every day. You got to give something to take something."
