Rediff could have simply written why Serena Williams is not getting sponsors the way Sharapova has been.
And that reason is simply that while Sharapova is white and beautiful, Serena is black (which by itself is a big relative setback in the world of fashion and show business) and ugly !

The fact is Sharapova could not beat Serena Williams in all competitions since 2004. Her H-2-H record against her is 2-18, and that 2 matches she had won against her were way back in 2004. But it's irony that Maria earns more than Williams the reason behind it is Maria has that typical super model kind of glamorous body which earned her lot of brand endorsements. That reminds me of her country-mate Ana Kurnikowa,who had never won any major grand slam but was among the richest tennis player due to brand endorsements, modelling, videos, posing for magazines cover etc.
