Anyone who was enthusiastic about TV series such as “The Wire” knows what a so-called “burner phone” is all about: Such a device is used by the bad boys (mostly they are boys - the female criminals worldwide comply) as far too short) only used once or twice, then disposed of in the nearest waste bin. After all, it is about leaving as few traces as possible.
Maria Sharapova, on the other hand, has clearly left traces during her illustrious career on the WTA tour. The Russian has recorded five successes in Grand Slam tournaments in her final balance sheet; Sharapova has had a tennis pension since the beginning of 2020. And now has something like a burner phone. Even if with a different accent: Sharapova has encouraged her fans to contact her directly. By SMS, using an area code (310) that can be assigned to the greater Los Angeles area.
Of course, there is no question that this is not the number under which Sharapova can be reached for its management, its best friends, the closest family. Nevertheless, a nice offer for all those who already miss “MaSha” on the tour. Only the master knows how many of the inquiring fans actually get an answer. The campaign has been running since Saturday. However, a statistical elaboration of the incoming messages would be interesting. For example in the categories "marriage proposals", "comeback requests" and "interview requests".
