Maria Sharapova is a female tennis player who has had great success in the history of women’s singles tennis.

She won 5 Grand Slams, once held the number 1 position in the world and was considered the most beautiful “Queen” during her time competing. Masha, when she was a professional player, often considered her colleagues to be opponents, and she hardly made friends with anyone.

Not even more so with Serena Williams, her biggest rival in her career. Sharapova famously said in 2017 that they were “never friends.” People only see “Russian Doll” having social actions with Serena on the tennis court, but in real life they rarely talk to each other.

But the situation has improved. One year after retiring (2021), Sharapova surprised the tennis world when she took photos with the Williams sisters, older sisters Venus and Serena at the Met Gala. This is considered a historical photo, it erases the previously considered bad relationship between Sharapova and Serena.

And the relationship continued to be upgraded when Sharapova recently posted a “selfie” photo with Serena on her personal page. The move of “Russian Doll” is an affirmation that there is no longer any discord between her and the former American tennis player, they are now friends.

Sharapova officially retired in 2020, she won 36 WTA titles including 5 Grand Slams and had 21 weeks as world number 1.

Serena retires from tennis in 2022. The American star has a total of 73 WTA titles, including 23 Grand Slams, and has spent 319 weeks at the top of the women’s tennis singles rankings.
