Breaking News: Maria Sharapova Has Been Nominated For Prestigious Tennis Award…

Maria Sharapova, the five-time Grand Slam singles champion and former World No. 1, has been nominated for the International Tennis Hall of Fame Class of 2025. This prestigious recognition celebrates her exceptional tennis career, during which she achieved the career Grand Slam, winning Wimbledon (2004), the U.S. Open (2006), the Australian Open (2008), and the French Open twice (2012, 2014). She also became the first Russian woman to reach the WTA No. 1 ranking in 2005.

Sharapova retired in 2020 after a stellar 19-year career that included 36 singles titles and more than 400 weeks in the Top 5. Her nomination comes alongside other tennis greats, including doubles legends Bob and Mike Bryan, who are also in contention for the 2025 class.

The official Hall of Fame class will be announced in October 2024, with the induction ceremony scheduled for August 2025 in Newport, Rhode Island.
