Goodbye, tennis: Maria Sharapova announces retirement

Five-time Grand Slam winner Maria Sharapova, one of the world’s most recognisable sportswomen, on Wednesday announced her retirement at the age of 32.“After 28 years and five Grand Slam titles, though, I’m ready to scale another mountain — to compete on a different type of terrain.”

Sharapova shot to fame as a giggly 17-year-old Wimbledon winner in 2004, the third-youngest player to conquer the All England Club’s hallowed grass courts.“One of the keys to my success was that I never looked back and I never looked forward,” Sharapova said on Wednesday.But in 2007 Sharapova began her long on-off battle with shoulder trouble.

In 2012, the Siberian-born Sharapova captured the French Open to become the 10th woman to complete a career Grand Slam. She added Olympic silver to her resume that year.More fitness troubles followed before the bombshell announcement of her positive test for the banned heart drug meldonium.
