Everyone was very unhappy when Maria Sharapova announced her retirement in February. In order to cheer up her fans, Maria Sharapova took a more direct approach. Check out the amazing thing she did.
What Did Maria Sharapova Do?
Maria Sharapova did a group chat with her fans. A lot of us must be thinking if that’s even possible since she has so many fans. Well, she managed to do the impossible. In the video, she says, that she is chatting with so many people that it took 5 pages on the video-calling app to fit all of them.
The opportunity to chat with your favorite player is very rare hence her fans were ecstatic when they did this. She also enjoyed chatting with them as she described that group chat as the ‘best 2 hours she could have ever asked for’.
This was an amazing act by Maria Sharapova to cheer up her fans who were unhappy. They were unhappy as their favorite player retired at the extremely young age of 32.
Maria had a successful career winning 5 grand slams, 36 WTA titles and spending 21 weeks at world no.1. Her career was not without controversies as she was banned in 2016 by the WADA but overall we can say she had an amazing career.
After she came back from her ban, Maria struggled with form. Things were not made better by a shoulder injury she sustained in 2019. This caused her to retire in 2020 with a single tweet saying, “I’m new to this, so please forgive me. Tennis – I’m saying goodbye.”
All good things must eventually come to an end. Maria Sharapova’s career was nothing short of amazing but it also has to end. We wish Maria Sharapova good luck in her life after tennis. Hopefully, she can do as well as she did in tennis.
