Kitchen Catastrophe

Published : Jun 09, 2007 00:00 IST

Maria Sharapova admits her cooking is "completely awful.'' "I'm not very patient,'' Sharapova said after reaching the third round at the French Open. "I can't wait for things to boil and to fry and make sure it's red and all of that.''

The second-seeded Russian, who beat Jill Craybas of the United States 6-2, 6-1, only barely knows her way around the supermarket.

"THE FIRST TIME I WAS LOST, absolutely lost,'' Sharapova said. "Now I've got it under control. I know where the vegetables are, where my favourite cheese is. I've got it all going.''
