Maria Sharapova fronts the latest issue of The Edit, a magazine from online luxury fashion retailer, Net-A-Porter. She’s the first athlete to grace the cover. Within the featured article, “Holding Court,” the tennis star opens up about her dedication and passion for the game, her off-court business ventures like Sugarpova and Supergoop, her home country of Russia, and living a simple life. For the full piece, visit here. Below is an excerpt as Sharapova talks style and dressing out of a suitcase:

The California girl in her favors sportswear with a boho vibe, but she is also drawn to edgier pieces by Isabel Marant, Raquel Allegra and Rick Owens. The key, though, is how well a piece travels. “I was away from April to July, and all I had was one suitcase. I bought one piece while I was away, a Céline coat, and it wasn’t the right time to wear it,” she says. “So by the time I came home, I was ready to drop off the entire case at Goodwill. That’s how my life is – I don’t go to events and borrow Alexander McQueen gowns every week. I’m dressing out of a suitcase.”
