Four-time Grand Slam winner Maria Sharapova has signed a new partnership with Porsche, in a three-year deal that will see the 26-year old Russian tennis star feature in a global campaign for the German sports car manufacturer. 

The deal comes as Sharapova begins her clay court season at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stugggart, where she is the reigning champion.

Matthias Müller, chief executive of Porsche, said: ‘Maria Sharapova is the perfect choice. Her profile and charisma are an ideal fit for Porsche. She is also highly respected around the world and enjoys an outstanding reputation.’

Sharapova added: ‘This is a really special day for me. I have had the privilege to be associated with some of the best brands in the world, but now to be partners with Porsche, is such an amazing honour.’
