The Russian called time on her career at the age of 32 in 2020 after winning five Grand Slams.
Sharapova retired a shadow of the player she was since returned from her drugs ban for meldonium in April 2017.
The doping suspension understandably damaged her reputation and brand, and she dropped to 373rd in the world.

Lauren Bell says India contests stand England in good stead for World Cup
Under new head coach Charlotte Edwards, England completed a clean sweep against the West Indies before falling to defeat against India. England were beaten 3-2 in the T20 series and 2-1 in the ODIs, but with the World Cup fast approaching, Bell insisted there is plenty to learn from this summer. She told the PA news agency: 'We've obviously had two fairly different series this summer. We had the West Indies that everyone performed really well and India challenged us a little bit more. England Women's Summer 2025 ✅ Not the ending we wanted but some amazing moments throughout and we appreciate all the support 🩷 World Cup 🔜🔜🔜 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 22, 2025 'It's exciting seeing that we're going to come up against some of the best teams and I think situations like the India series we just had is great preparation really. You learn so much more when you play against top teams. 'It's really exciting where we're at as a team, where we're going and obviously we're working super hard. We've got a few things that everyone, I guess, is going to work on moving forwards to that World Cup. 'It's an exciting time to be part of this team.' This year's World Cup takes place in India and Sri Lanka and England open their campaign on October 3 with a clash against South Africa in Bengaluru. The tournament is England's first under Edwards, who has just completed her first summer in charge and Bell has enjoyed working with a familiar face. 'It's been great, I've worked with Lot for a number of years because she was down at Hampshire and the Southern Brave,' Bell added. 'She's been great, she's got this ethos of winning and performance-based selection, which obviously takes a bit of getting used to with a new coach and the way she goes about things. 'She's obviously got a vast amount of experience and a really successful start to her coaching. 'It's been great, the way she manages everyone and speaks to us is really exciting. It's really cool to be a part of what she's hopefully pushing this team to do and to succeed.' England face a busy 12 month period with the 50-over World Cup and home games over the summer before the T20 World Cup starts next. Next year's tournament follows the 2022 European Championship and the upcoming Women's Rugby World Cup as another major women's sporting event being held on British soil. Looking ahead to the T20 World Cup, Bell said: 'Super excited, I think any player wants to play at a home World Cup. I think it's so cool with family and friends around and hopefully (can) put women's cricket on a platform at home. 'It's so important bringing it to the home venues and getting them hopefully sold out and people being able to see the sport. 'The more we can get it accessible to people to watch, the more they'll be like 'this is pretty cool, I want to get involved' and start playing. It's such a massive opportunity for cricket in England.'

Suranne Jones looks VERY different with scruffy blonde bob as she transforms for new ITV heist drama Frauds with Jodie Whittaker
Suranne Jones looks very different with a scruffy blonde bob as her character in upcoming ITV heist drama Frauds. The new six-part show, created by Suranne and Annie-Marie O'Connor, is set to hit our screens later this year. Now a sneak peek of the actress as her alter-ego Bert in the drama, and her co-star Jodie Whittaker, has been shared. Suranne, who usually rocks dark hair, can be seen sitting in the passenger seat of a red car with much lighter locks. Meanwhile Jodie, who plays Sam in the programme, looks concerned gazing over at her from the driver's seat. ITV's official press release alongside the images says: 'As Sam has sought a low-key life, Bert's release from a Spanish prison for compassionate reasons reignites her ambition for one final, significant score. 'On the pretext of one final, multi-million-pound art heist, Bert attempts to lure Sam out of retirement, but at what cost? 'Can Sam stay one step ahead of her former friend, who is clearly capable of treachery? 'Or will the push and pull of their toxic friendship see them both ruined before they are able to pull off the job?' Suranne and Jodie are joined by Horacio Colomé, Talisa Garcia, Abdul Salis, Karan Gill, Elizabeth Berrington, Lee Boardman and Christian Cooke on the show. The likes of Thais Martin, Kate Fleetwood, Javier Taboada and Nansi Nsue are part of the star-studded cast too. Frauds will follow Bert fulfil her 'one final job' after spending 10 years in a Spanish prison. ITV announced that Frauds had been commissioned in January 2025. Suranne said at the time: 'Working on Frauds with Anne-Marie and Monumental for the last 2 years has been a wild ride. 'We took the idea of toxic female friendship and turned it on its head to give the heist genre an emotional heartbeat. 'I have always wanted to work with Jodie, and now I am. 'I hope you love Bert and Sam and all they get up to as much as we do.' Senior Drama Commissioning Editor at ITV, Helen Ziegler, said: 'We are delighted to be working with Suranne, Anne Marie and the brilliant team at Monumental on their unique take on a heist show. 'At its heart this is a story of a complex, surprising friendship, which asks if Sam and Bert can pull together for one last job, or whether the past will derail them. 'Suranne and Jodie are two incredible actors and it'll be thrilling to see what they bring to the central characters.' Frauds was written by Anne-Marie O'Connor, while Giulia Gandini directed the drama. The executive producers include Anne-Marie, Suranne, Debra Hayward, Alison Carpenter and Jill Forbes. The producer is Pat Tookey-Dickson and the company used was Monumental Television. It comes after Netflix released its first trailer for the-hotly anticipated political thriller Hostage starring Suranne Jones - and fans are already saying the same thing. The high-stakes drama is anchored by a powerful performance from English actress Suranne. The 46-year-old Vigil star not only plays the UK Prime Minister, but she also held a vital role as executive producer, marking her first project with Netflix.

The best restaurant in Britain has been crowned for 2025 – and it's just one hour from London
When it comes to the best restaurants in Britain, there are all sorts of guides and people telling you which ones to visit. You've got the World's 50 Best, the prestigious Michelin Guide, and countless TikTokkers recommending 'hidden gems' and 'best kept secrets' (until said restos get spoiled by overcrowding). And of course, we at Time Out have our own meticulously researched list of the London's top eateries, which you can read here. If you could possibly need any more inspiration, a new ranking has named the best restaurant in the UK, and said resto is only one hour outside of the capital. Caldesi in Campagna, an Italian restaurant in Bray, Berkshire specialising in Tuscan cuisine, has been crowned Britain's best place to dine in the annual Muddy Stilettos awards. Every year, the lifestyle guide names 'the best of' businesses in the UK, including pubs, bars, shops, cafés, hotels and more. This year's winners, selected by a team of Muddy Stilettos editors, have just been revealed. The Italian joint in the top spot is part of a small chain owned by celebrity chef Giancarlo Caldesi. He also owns Caldesi in Marylebone and cookery schools in London and Berkshire. Opened in 2007, favourites on the menu at Caldesi in Campagna include pappardelle with beef and pork ragu, courgette flower carpaccio and Italian style doughnuts. The spot is also known as being a favourite haunt of the former PM Theresa May. Make of that what you will. Runner's up for the UK's best restaurant in this year's Muddy Awards were Alfredo's in Somerset, Linden Stores in Cheshire, The Greyhound in Buckinghamshire and The Tasting Club in Derbyshire. Time Out's guide to the best Italian restaurants in London.
