The world No. 6 ranked Maria Sharapova and French Open 2011 champion Li Na has been started in a new advertising manufacture of sports clothing and footwear Nike.

The Nike Photo Shoot was held an American photographer Annie Leibovitz, who works for the Magazine Vanity Fair nearly 20 years. The Nike company posters have been revealed, where the Russian star Sharapova poses alone with other sports athletes. The 24-year-old Sharapova was attended by the Chinese tennis player Li Na, the American Allyson Felix, British runner Perri Shakes-Drayton, American footballer Hope Solo, Algerian dancer and Sofia Boutella.

Sharapova has first singed with Nike in 1999, where in early 2010 she had re-signed an eight year sponsorship contract with the Nike Company, which it was expected nearly 70 million dollars. Sharapova has become the lost highly paid athletes in the world by the Magazine Forbes from July 1st to June of 2010, where she earned around 24.5 million.

The Russian star Sharapova is also coming out with new dress and shoes for the Wimbledon 2011, as she is one of the hot favorite to lift the title. She won the Wimbledon title in 2004.
