Maria finds new doubles partner in TV advert
November 19th, 2007

Tennis star Maria Sharapova has found herself a new doubles partner in a new ad shown on US TV.

The 20-year-old Russian can be seen in an advert for Canon’s latest PowerShot digital camera, chasing her dog Dolce around - trying to take his picture. She speaks to the Pomeranian breed telling him to roll over, but he cheekily answers back in English in an Italian accent and ignores his owner.

The commercial then ends with Dolce admiring a wall of dog photos in Sharopova’s home that she has taken of him.

The dog is in fact an actor named Beowulf and not Sharopova’s actual pooch, who is called Dolce.

“We wanted to get beyond Maria, the tennis player, to Maria, the person, and one of the things Maria loves most is her dog,” says Mike

Wilson, the chief creative officer of Dentsu America, the ad agency responsible for the commercial.

Sharapova does admit that she loves taking “tons of photos” of the real Dolce, but she doesn’t take him to tournaments with her.

Masha,
Interesting the way Dolce reacts when you tell him to roll over!!! I like it when the voice says - do you think you owe me?
Love,
Wester

Am concerned that the real Dolce may be missing out on a chance to develop her modeling and performing talent. I'm sure Beowulf is very deserving and is a professional actor-dog with a good agent, but Dolce is Maria's dog and deserves a break.

Since I was stupid enough to lash out online than I have to be smart enough to apologize to both Juan AND michelle. It was an undeserving cheap shot. I could've stopped before that line. And I'm sorry to anyone else who got hurt. I always lash out at that point maria (my comments to you), ask anyone before. I don't know why. You did nothing to deserve that.

one more thing. Fear not . I won't write on this site again.

P.S.
A junior. The serbian(ivanovic I think- I'm not sure) is pretty, but she's no Maria, and if you think she is, than YOUR crazy!!
