The 37-year-old retired from tennis in 2020 after almost two decades competing on the WTA Tour.

Sharapova had her first Grand Slam success in 2004 when she stunned Serena Williams to win the Wimbledon title at just 17 years old.

She went on to complete the career Grand Slam, winning all four Majors throughout her illustrious career.

It wasn’t a career without controversy, however, as the Russian was banned for 15 months in 2016 after testing positive for the banned substance meldonium.

Since retiring she has remained involved in tennis, and recently Sharapova gave her thoughts on rising star Coco Gauff.

Whilst she has been busy praising the talent of tomorrow, the powers that be have now shown their appreciation for everything Sharapova did during her time as a professional.

Maria Sharapova is ‘incredibly grateful’ for Tennis Hall of Fame selection

“A big thank you to the Hall of Fame, and to all the voters.

“Most importantly, this recognition is such a beautiful reminder of the deep appreciation I have for my fans.

“Each one of you made me reach for the stars and look at what we have achieved together.

“Thank you.”

The announcement video shows former WTA number one Kim Clijsters breaking the good news to the new inductees.
