Maria Sharapova’s cookies really rubbed this former world No 1 the wrong way

Former world number one Yevgeny Kafelnikov has a problem. However, we're not sure whether it's with Maria Sharapova or the Russian tennis player's baked goods.

Former world number one Yevgeny Kafelnikov has a problem. However, we’re not sure whether it’s with Maria Sharapova or the Russian tennis player’s baked goods.

Russian tennis dynamo Maria Sharapova launched a range of sweets under her unfortunately named “Sugarpova” range earlier this year. Her compatriot and ex-men’s world number one tennis player Kafelnikov is unimpressed with the line of sugary snacks. He seems to have a real issue with the cookies in particular, judging by this tweet.

The retired Russian posted a photo of a portly Sharapova to his Twitter profile with a caption implying that eating her cookies are a sure-fire way to becoming morbidly obese.
