There are a million pictures they could have shown of Sharapova and you think they just randomly chose that particular one?

By definition: Crotch- The area on a pair of pants, underpants, or shorts where the two leg panels are sewn together.

Bicyle shorts or not I think it was intentional.
Regardless, my post was sarcastic and not intended for deep thoughts or discussions but as you seem to be an expert in the area of crotches you just had to comment.  I hope you slept alright.

Oh... and lighten up.
