Over the years, Maria Sharapova has enthralled tennis fans with her audacious shot-making on the tennis court. She played to her strengths and used her height as an advantage to overpower her opponents. Further, her rise in women’s tennis was somewhat similar to that of the Williams sisters.

Like Serena and Venus, Sharapova received the backing of her father to excel in tennis. He left everything behind to move to the United States with her daughter. Sharapova didn’t disappoint and soon etched her name amongst the best in the world.

Over her illustrious career, she went on to win five Grand Slam titles. Further, she achieved the top spot in the WTA rankings in August 2005. Sharapova announced her retirement in February 2020 and has turned her attention toward her business ventures. Recently, a brand she had invested in had a kind message for her.
