Her agent confirmed the news and told the media that the program involves two classes on campus.

According to Wall Street Journal, Maria Sharapova was the subject of a 2007 Harvard Business Review case study titled “ Maria Sharapova: Marketing a Champion.”


Sharapova has been banned from playing the sport for two years by the International Tennis Federation after she tested positive for meldonium at the Australian Open. She has since made an appeal and is awaiting a decision.
