ABC’s popular business reality show is back with all new episodes and at a new time slot! And it opened with a bang! The 13th episode of ‘Shark Tank’ turned out to be quite exciting as star tennis champion Maria Sharapova joined the sharks on the panel and assessed the business pitches in the same breath as the others.

But that’s not all that made the sportswoman earn praise and applause from fans.

For the uninitiated, Sharapova is also an entrepreneur and philanthropist who owns and runs the brand ‘Sugarpova’. Sugarpova supports the National Association of Women Business Owners, an organization that fosters the development and growth of young female entrepreneurs and dishes out retail goods.

One of her fast running products is a range of candies that are not only delicious but healthy as well. The sportsperson-turned-entrepreneur is an inspiration for many women and fans of the show.

While on the shark seat, Sharapova shared her story and how she got to her entrepreneurial journey, which left some fans feeling thankful.

One such fan commented, “Thanks @mariasharapova for sharing your inspiring story with us! #SharkTank @ABCSharkTank”

And then there are some people who love Sugarpova products and cheered the fempreneur for her efforts.

“I love @Sugarpova by the incredible @MariaSharapova! Amazing gummies that my girlfriend and I love!!! @ABCSharkTank #SharkTank”, tweeted a fan. Others on Twitter are going gaga about the guest shark and here’s what they feel about having her on the show.

"@MariaSharapova was a great shark!  #SharkTank”, comments a fan.

Another user wants her back on the show and says, "@MariaSharapova is a nice addition to Shark Tank. I hope to see her back in the future. #SharkTank"

Apart from the star power, Episode 13 of Season 11 also saw some very interesting and innovative pitches with like a product that adds a constant, comfortable resistance to workouts; a product that eliminates bland dog food; an event space that features an American family-favorite game; a multipurpose hair oil for pubic hair, and so on.

‘Shark Tank’ Season 11 now airs every Friday night at 8pm/7c, only on ABC.
