MTV personality Quddus interviews Maria for his show. Nice guy. This is the Gansevoort hotel in the fashionable Meatpacking district and I am a fly on the wall.
I interviewed Lansdorp for two hours about his famous students (Sampras, Austin, Davenport, Sharapova), himself and the game of tennis. One of the best interviews I have done. Great guy.
Before there was Sharapova, there was Kournikova. For about a year, we, the media, made the mistake of bringing this up to Maria when interviewing her, but she eventually beat it out of us. Here, Anna, still not officially retired from tennis, came to Newport Beach as part of the visiting World Team Tennis (WTT) squad and got the atention she was used to.
