'Tennis -- I’m saying goodbye.'
"Tennis -- I’m saying goodbye," Sharapova wrote Wednesday.
"Tennis showed me the world -- and it showed me what I was made of," the 32-year-old added."It's how I tested myself and how I measured my growth." "And so in whatever I might choose for my next chapter, my next mountain, I'll still be pushing. I’ll still be climbing. I'll still be growing." Sharapova was a former No. 1 player in the world ... and won five career Grand Slams -- including Wimbledon in 2004 when she was just 17 years old.... which was more of complete and utter dominance than actual competitiveness.Maria, though, still won the U.S. Open in 2006, the Australian Open in 2008 and the French Open twice in 2012 and 2014.
But, Maria's career didn't come without controversy ... she tested positive for a banned substance in 2016 and was ultimately suspended from the game for 15 MONTHS.
