Tennis star Maria Sharapova proved to be a versatile sports person after showing her football skills during a recent training session on a rest day at Wimbledon.

The third seed introduced some soccer skills amid her preparations for playing against Portugal's Michelle Larcher in the prestigious tournament next round on Wedensday.

According to Daily Star, the 26-year-old Sharapova seemed just as good at football as she did with a racquet in her hand.
