Thanks for having me at #CannesLions @IBM and @Wimbledon! Loved discussing & learning about how IBM is using #AI technology to help Wimbledon grow its global audience and make the game of tennis even more engaging for fans around the world ✨🎾💡
Maria Sharapova isn't playing tennis anymore but the former player is staying business with her various business activities along with some other stuff.
Sharapova always held an interest and business and was active in the sphere during her playing days as well. Since retiring, the Russian only stepped up her game in that regard becoming an investor and dedicating most of her time to that. She's a mother now as well which is another thing she's enjoying very much along all of her work.
She was recently in Cannes and she detailed her journey there on Instagram posting a series of stories, one of which showed a clay tennis court. She captioned that photo with:
“This is possibly the only court that could get me out of retirement.”
It doesn't mean that we'll see her out of retirement but it's interesting that Sharapova singled out that specific court in Cannes as the one that could get her out of retirement.
