Sharapova's shorts sharp shock

LONDON (AFP) — Maria Sharapova, who once wore diamond-encrusted shoes at Wimbledon, is keeping her style simple at this year's championships - she'll be wearing shorts.

"I'm going with the traditional shorts, believe it or not," said Sharapova, the 2004 champion.

"I've never worn shorts at a Grand Slam. I'm gonna be debuting that. Call it menswear, obviously. It's kind of like a tuxedo look, very simple lines, classic."

Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam tournament of the year, gets underway on Monday.
