The legend of tennis Maria Sharapova recently cried because of the terrible spicy of the dish when appearing on the famous YouTube program Hot Ones, where the guests both interviewed and tried with a series of spicy chicken wings.
The former player who won the entire Grand Slam has retired since early 2020 to focus on business projects. Recently, she returned to the sports stage when she took on the role of an ambassador for a beer company at the Wimbledon 2025. Sharapova and David Beckham, another ambassador of the brand, appeared at Henman hill to pour beer and cheer for matches at the central field.
However, in the latest appearance in the media, she fell into a “difficult” situation when faced with the challenge of eating super spicy chicken wings on hot ones. From the beginning of the program, Sharapova warned the host Sean Evans: “I will not cry elegantly like Margot Robbie.”
When starting to try light spicy sauce, Sharapova shared about the habit of shouting when polishing, a prominent feature of her on the field. “I want to say that it is to threaten the opponent, but it will be a lie,” she laughed. “I started to do that since I was young and kept that habit forever and it became bigger and bigger.”
However, it was the spicy chicken wings that made her “scream”. In a segment, when Sean Evans asked about whether she would prefer to pair with a “cherry-picker” or “Poacher”, Sharapova gasped, her eyes were teary and asked, “What the hell is Cherry-Picker?
After a moment of embarrassment, she chose “Cherry-Picker” that made her ideal, even though her career was primarily associated with single and the highest double ranking she had ever achieved only 41 worlds.
Sharapova retired in 2020 after many persistent injuries and returned to the turbulent case after the 15 -month ban for the 2016 doping.
Even so, Sharapova still proves the attractiveness and bravery, even though this time it is before the spicy chicken wings instead of the opponent on the tennis court.
