JUNGLE FEVER: MARIA Sharapovas off-season had a few of the usual things: a couple of sponsor commitments, a few days lying on the beach and a swing through the jungle at the end of a rope.
The Russian star spent 10 days at a resort in Costa Rica before flying Down Under for the Australian Open, and took a wilderness tour in the Central American country that included flying 400 meters in the air, going 40 mph, on a skinny little rope, she said on her web site.
