Maria Sharapova Career:

Maria Sharapova came into the professional world swinging when she was only thirteen years old. She won the Eddie Herr International Junior Tennis Championships in the girls’ 16 division and was graced with the ‘Rising Star award. At such a young age, there were limits on how many events she could play, so Maria chose to focus on junior tournaments instead.

In 2005, Sharapova made it to the Australian Open semifinals and the French Open quarterfinals. She also reached the Wimbledon semifinals before losing to eventual champion Venus Williams. In 2012, Sharapova won her first French Open title, making her only the tenth woman to complete a Career Grand Slam. She reclaimed the planet’s No. 1 ranking in the process.

She took home a silver medal in the 2012 London Olympics. Sharapova was plagued by a shoulder ailment once again in 2013, which reduced her performance. In 2014, Maria Sharapova won the second French Open title of her career by defeating Simona Halep. She also won that year’s Stuttgart Open, Madrid Open, and China Open.

In 2017, she published an autobiography titled Unstoppable: My Life So Far with Sarah Crichton Books. Sharapova won five Grand Slam singles titles, including two French Opens, before she retired in February 2020. She has a career record of 645–171 in singles events, which is a 79 percent winning percentage.

Sharapova had surgery in 2008 for a shoulder injury and returned to playing tennis at a high level, even regaining the number-one ranking in 2012. However, more injuries and a doping suspension eventually led to her decision to retire from professional tennis.
