Five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova launched her new podcast called Pretty Tough on Wednesday. The Russian former World No. 1 revealed the inspiration for the podcast was derived from a desire to show the world that women can do way more than what people think they are capable of.

“For much of my career I heard that I couldn’t be gritty on the court and graceful off it. Women are constantly faced with sceptics trying to put them in a box. Pretty Tough is about breaking down the misconception that women can’t be more than one thing: Elegant and enterprising, pretty and tough” Sharapova, 39, said on an Instagram post.
