The world’s former number one tennis player Maria Sharapova took to the gym to release a little pent up anger. The athlete posted a video of her punching some pads on her Instagram page on Monday, August 29.

"Anger management on a Sunday afternoon," wrote Maria Sharapova. In the video, the 29-year-old player shows off her striking skills with a MMA coach.

On June 8, the International Tennis Federation disqualified Sharapova for two years, commencing on January 26, 2016. This happened after admitting in March to taking the banned drug meldonium. On August 15, President of the Russian Tennis Federation Shamil Tarpishchev announced her return on the court in January 2017. Perhaps Maria is preparing to enter the MMA Octagon before her ban expires?
