Although she hung up her racket in 2020, Maria Sharapova will be returning to the tennis courts.....as a playable character in the newly-released tennis video game, TopSpin 2k25.
The Russian dynamo joins an already impressive roster of playable characters in the flagship video game which was released on Friday. Sharapova will join the likes of Serena Williams, Coco Gauff, Roger Federer, Andy Murray, Ben Shelton and Daniil Medvedev, who are all playable characters in the game.
Sharapova character already a favorite among fans online
The five-time Grand Slam champion has been promoting the game on her social media channels. Fans online are buzzing about the former World No.1's portrayal in the game, as her character has plenty of unique strengths, making her a popular choice for the game's online, multiplayer mode.
"The world tour [is] full of Sharapovas," joked a fan on Twitter.
Sharapova herself took to social media to join in on the fun. The 37-year old responded to promotional material by the TopSpin Twitter account, hinting she might be forced to come out of retirement.
"Coming out of retirement for this one 😉," teased the retired Russian tennis star.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
