STANFORD, CA, USA - One of the most recognized technology and social media video hosts on the internet, Veronica Belmont, stopped in on Stanford over the weekend for a hit with one of the most popular names in sports, three-time Grand Slam champion and former No.1 Maria Sharapova.
After taking to the tennis court, the two chatted about everything from tennis to technology, fashion, nutrition and their fans on Facebook and Twitter.
Belmont is a technology and gaming-centric video host based out of San Francisco. Her current projects include Qore (a monthly interactive magazine about the PS3 for Sony) and Tekzilla (a weekly tech help and how to show). She has also written for Slate, DoubleX, MaximumPC and PC Gamer.

Sharapova has been one of the most successful tennis players of the last decade, winning 22 Tour titles (including three Grand Slams - 2004 Wimbledon, 2006 US Open, 2008 Australian Open) and becoming the first Russian ever to ascend to No.1 in the world (first doing so in 2005). After missing nine months of action between August 2008 and May 2009 due to a shoulder injury, and subsequently falling out of the Top 100, she has come back strong and is currently ranked No.15 in the world.
