Fans are furious after Maria Sharapova’s latest announcement — here’s what she said!
Maria Sharapova is no stranger to making headlines, but her latest announcement has sent shockwaves through her fan base — and not in a good way.
Earlier today, Maria revealed that she would be focusing entirely on her business ventures and stepping away from any future tennis-related projects for the foreseeable future.
Many fans, who were holding out hope for a possible return to tennis — even as a coach, mentor, or commentator — are feeling crushed.
The backlash online was immediate. Comments flooded in from disappointed fans who felt “betrayed” and “heartbroken” by the news.
Some pointed out that Sharapova’s identity is forever tied to tennis, and giving it up completely feels like “losing a piece of history.”
Despite the uproar, Maria stood firm in her decision, explaining that she’s excited to grow her brand and explore new passions outside of the sport.
It’s clear that while her new chapter is exciting for her, many fans are still struggling to accept the end of an era.
Will fans come around? Only time will tell.
One thing is certain — Maria Sharapova never does anything halfway
