Maria Sharapova Sued by Florida Production

A Florida production company has sued 2004 Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova in federal court, seeking approval to sell a documentary about Russian women tennis players.



According to the suit filed Monday in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Sharapova objected to the use of her name and image in the documentary, "Anna`s Army: Behind the Rise of Russian Women`s Tennis," which was produced by Byzantium Productions, Inc., of West Palm Beach. The documentary, whose title refers to former WTA Tour pro Anna Kournikova, has been sold in DVD format since May in the United States and abroad, and has also been broadcast on television in the United States and Russia.
