WORLD : TENNIS GREAT MARIA SHARAPOVA RETIRES FROM TENNIS !

After 20 years cusping a colourful professional career, complete with all the drama, scars and battles; and giving almost her entire life to tennis which she professed was her first love, Maria Sharapova - - once the highest paid female athlete in any sport on Earth - - has officially bowed out from the sport, for good.

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. pic.twitter.com/kkOiJmXuln
