At 17 she stunned Serena Williams at Wimbledon and became the face that sold everything - the highest-paid female athlete for 11 straight years. A career Grand Slam, a doping suspension that cut her prime short, and a modeling portfolio as famous as her baseline game.

About this person

Born April 19, 1987, Sharapova broke through as a teen sensation by winning the 2004 Wimbledon Championships and upsetting two-time defending champion Serena Williams. She became the first Russian woman to reach world No. 1 in August 2005 at 18, and over the next years collected majors at the 2006 US Open and 2008 Australian Open while battling recurring injuries. After a career-long struggle on clay, she completed the career Grand Slam with the 2012 French Open, won Olympic silver in London that summer, and claimed a second Roland Garros title in 2014. She failed a drug test for meldonium at the 2016 Australian Open and served a reduced 15-month suspension after the Court of Arbitration for Sport found no significant fault, returned in April 2017, and retired in 2020. She was inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in 2025.
