Maria Sharapova announces retirement from tennis

The Hindu  

Five-time Grand Slam winner Maria Sharapova, one of the world's most recognisable sportswomen, on Wednesday announced her retirement at the age of 32. “After 28 years and five Grand Slam titles, though, I'm ready to scale another mountain - to compete on a different type of terrain.” Sharapova burst onto the scene as a supremely gifted teenager and won her Grand Slams before serving a 15-month ban for failing a drugs test at the 2016 Australian Open. “One of the keys to my success was that I never looked back and I never looked forward,” Sharapova said on Wednesday. “I believed that if I kept grinding and grinding, I could push myself to an incredible place.” But in 2007 Sharapova began her long on-off battle with shoulder trouble.
