After a strong career start, scandalous banned substance saga and NINETEEN CONSECUTIVE LOSSES to thee Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova retired from professional tennis at only 32 in a not-very-shocking announcement that ended an era of championship failure.
Known as a “fierce” competitor who was often dragged for shady comments about Serena (when she wasn’t getting whooped on the court by Serena), she leaves the storied sport as “the chosen one who could never beat Serena” much to the petty glee of Black Twitter that celebrated exactly as you’d expect.
