We sat down with Tennis legend Maria Sharapova to discuss her growing interest in Web3. This is what she had to say:
During an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Sharapova mentioned that “she is exposing herself to this new world of crypto and Web3,” noting that the sector will help her better engage with her fans. Sharapova was also one of the strategic investors, yet she mentioned that she aims to bridge her personal experiences to the digital world moving forward.

Source: Rachel WolfsonI’m crypto curious and would like to figure out how to bridge the incredible physical experiences that I've been able to have with my fans over so many years. I’m now finding ways to include experiences in the digital world, so that’s what I’m most excited about. Also, as a female entrepreneur, I believe it’s important to pave the way for other women to enter Web3.
CT: As a female entrepreneur and former athlete, do you have plans to get more women involved in Web3?I want to allow women to have a space where they experiment with Web3. For example, I was 17 when Imy first grand slam and social media was in no way part of that experience. It took years for me to get comfortable with social media over time. I think Web3 is also an area where one has to get out there in order to learn and grow from it.
I’d love to see the quality of Web3 experiences come through a bit more and improve, specifically in the digital space.I’m really interested in the NFT space because it bridges my passion for fashion, interior design and creating spaces that are unique to individuals and communities. I’ve become more interested in this space because it has more of a design perspective. It’s also an entirely new revenue stream that both artists and women are discovering.
