Maria Sharapova is a former Russian grand slam champion who was born on April 19, 1987 and was world No. 1. She is known for her strength, determination, and impact on the game.
She began playing tennis as a young child, and her father took her to Florida to attend a tennis academy. She became a professional at the age of 14 in 2001. In 2004, she made a breakthrough by upsetting tennis star Serena Williams to win Wimbledon at the age of 17. This catapulted her to fame.
Sharapova has also won five Grand Slam titles: Wimbledon (2004), US Open (2006), Australian Open (2008) and two French Open (2012, 2014) titles. She also took home a silver medal from the 2012 London Olympics. With a powerful serve and tenacity, she was world No. 1 in 2005.
However, her career was marred by injuries and a 2016 suspension for a positive drug test. Sharapova retired in 2020, with a career that saw her become one of the most well-known and successful players.
