MANILA, Philippines—Of course it’s annoying when you’re reading something and somebody’s peeking over your shoulder.
But maybe not, especially when that “somebody” is tennis superstar Maria Sharapova.
A man was reading a news story about Sharapova while on board a plane. Little did he know that the world No. 4 tennis player was sitting right behind him.
And she took a snapshot of the oblivious man and posted the photo on Twitter with the message: “Hey buddy. I’m right behind you…:)”
With 1.28 million followers, Sharapova’s tweet as of this posting was retweeted 31,810 times and favorited by 33,456 netizens.

She has won 32 WTA singles titles including five grand slam titles.
