"Tennis — I'm saying goodbye," Sharapova said in an article for Vogue and Vanity Fair magazines."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 has hardly played in the past year because of long-standing shoulder problems. When she did play she lost as many matches as she won and was dumped out in the first rounds at Wimbledon, the US Open and, most recently, the Australian Open in Melbourne. But in 2007 Sharapova began her long on-off battle with shoulder trouble. She would win the 2008 Australian Open before a second shoulder injury kept her off tour for the second half of the season, missing the US Open and Beijing Olympics.
More fitness troubles followed before the bombshell announcement of her positive test for the banned heart drug meldonium. Always a fighter -- the seven-year-old Maria and father Yuri left for the US in 1994 with just a borrowed $700 to their names -- Sharapova returned to the sport in 2017.
