Russian tennis great Maria Sharapova is among the best tennis players of her generation. Of late, we haven’t seen many players performing consistently for a long time. Although she represented Russia, the former world number one has been living in the US for a long time. The Russian once appeared in ‘The Morning Show’ and shared the screen with actresses Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon.

Apart from her greatness at tennis, the 35-year-old is pretty popular for her charm and looks. She is popular in the entertainment industry and has got friends there as well. Back in 2019, when she was still playing the game, the former world number 1 appeared in The Morning Show alongside F.R.I.E.N.D.S star Jennifer Aniston.
