Tennis- I’m saying goodbye: Maria Sharapova announces retirement

Legendary Tennis star Maria Sharapova has announced her retirement from the international Tennis.

Sharapova, 32, wrote an article exclusively announcing her retirement in the Vogue and Vanity Fair.

“Tennis-I’m saying goodbye”, she wrote. “After 28 years and five Grand Slam titles, though, I’m ready to scale another mountain – to compete on a different type of terrain,” she added.

She was one of the gifted players of the game and her career saw downfall after serving a 15-month ban for failing a drugs test at the 2016 Australian Open. The Russian former world number one’s ranking is currently 373rd.

She suffered from a shoulder problem which seems to be bothering her for a long time now.

She took to Instagram to share a throwback image and wrote: Tennis showed me the world—and it showed me what I was made of. It’s how I tested myself and how I measured my growth. And so in whatever I might choose for my next chapter, my next mountain, I’ll still be pushing. I’ll still be climbing. I’ll still be growing. (sic)
