Former Wimbledon champion ‘Maria Sharapova’ looks UNRECOGNISABLE three years after retiring from tennis… as the star shows off new look in Miami
During her playing days the Russian No 1 was synonymous with long blonde hair. After retirement Sharapova has focused largely on her business interests
She remains the only Russian woman to have completed a career Slam. Maria Sharapova looked almost unrecognisable from her playing days as she sunned herself on a balcony in Miami last week.
The former Wimbledon champion rocketed to fame when she beat top seed and defending champion Serena Williams on Centre Court to win her first Grand Slam at just 17 in 2004 and become known for her trademark long blonde hair.
But after retiring in 2020, Sharapova has favoured a more natural look and after the former player shared a recent picture on her Instagram page, a number of fans were in agreement, after a double take.
The 36-year-old was in town as part of the Formula 1 race weekend, where she appeared alongside Lewis Hamilton at the Formula One Accelerate Summer.
