The trip, replete with frequent beach excursions, featured comedian Chelsea Handler delivering a rap verse about, well, forgetting her swimsuit.

What we see here is a pair of friends a world away from their troubles. That Handler's video clip comes punctuated with Sharapova's patented laugh should tell you one thing: Maria will be fine.
