Russian tennis beauty Maria Sharapova, who welcomed son Theodore with fiance Alexander Gilkes last July, said motherhood has been a learning experience. “The role of mother must arrive at a certain point in your life, I felt ready and to tell the truth it was something I*ve always dreamed of. I have an excellent relationship with my mother, we are very close and we share a lot, we are related and this is also why I wanted to have a child so that I could share my experiences with him. I*m excited to see him [Theodore] grow and I*m learning new things too. Every day is a new day, there*s always something to learn and it*s a great challenge,” she was quoted as saying by Tennis World USA. Meanwhile, Sharapova stressed that the role of being a professional player and mother are demanding. “I don*t know if it*s more difficult being a tennis player or a mother, let*s just say both roles are very demanding. He is an exemplary child, I often talk to him. Fortunately he is very good, I was lucky I must say,” she remarked.
