Apparently, this is not the first time the 27-year-old Russian athlete visited the county. Just a few weeks prior to the tournament, Sharavopa spent a vacation with her friends in Palawan, which recently received the distinction as the "most beautiful island in the world."

"I love it," she said in an interview with ABS-CBN sportscaster Dyan Castillejo. "How beautiful, how calm, how peaceful it was, the culture in general. The people were so generous, it made the trip so great."

In one of her Instagram pictures, the tennis superstar is seen enjoying the crystal clear water of the island paradise.

"Vacation in one picture. I'll see you soon #Philippines #nofilter," she wrote in the caption.

 According to reports, Sharapova stayed in Amanpulo during her first visit in the country.
