Sharapova made her sole post-retirement appearance in San Diego for the World TeamTennis Celebrity All-Star Match on March 1 (which is airing Saturday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS Sports). The Russian played her first season of WTT as a 15-year-old, and was going to compete in her ninth season overall, for the Orange County Breakers this summer. http://instagram.com/p/B-N3_fQJHNW "It was really the beginning of my career," Sharapova said. "I really am grateful for the opportunities. I've played WTT on this court, so great memories to be back here." Team Sharapova took on Team Bryan Brothers in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. While the 32-year-old Russian didn't compete, she left a lasting impression. "Being able to speak to Maria pretty much for the first time ever was really cool," said WTT star Taylor Townsend. "Just to be outside of the competitive environment, it was very cool." Sharapova is more than eager to speak with her friends, fans and former colleagues, as she first organized a Zoom hangout: http://instagram.com/p/B9dCFsZJ6VS

Apparently, Maria Sharapova still hasn’t gotten used to her success. On April 3, the Russian shared her cell phone number with her Twitter followers and asked them to text her, explaining that a big part of her wish is due to the fact that “we’re all in this separation, this physical-distancing [thing] together”.
The response from the five-time Grand Slam champion’s fans was immediate and the video received over 60,000 views in barely two hours. But leave it to social media to exponentially increase statistics… Not even two days later, Sharapova posted a new message on her account in which she expressed her surprise at the traction generated by her video.
“2.2 million views in 40 hours,” she wrote. Before inserting a GIF of a woman frantically typing on her cell phone keyboard, she added, “My current phone status…”
Many from all over the world have requested that she get WhatsApp or at least that she share a way in which they could reach her. Others, who have been lucky enough to be able to text her, are still waiting for an answer. Four days after being posted, the video had climbed up to over 3.7 million views.

Sharapova sent a ‘thank you’ to Evian because the bottled water brand, which sponsors many tennis tournaments, made a donation to the Red Cross. The donated sum will help health workers from many highly affected countries like France, United Kingdom, Switzerland and the USA. http://instagram.com/p/B-_nl5HqGq_ Rafael Nadal also helped the Red Cross recently by involving in #OurBestVictory project, but he concentrated on the Spanish branch of the organisation. “Across the globe, hospitals, health services and healthcare workers are under huge pressure. To support those on the front line and those affected, we have donated to the Red Cross. This donation will be used to help ease the pressure on health services across France, the UK, Switzerland and the USA, and to supply medical equipment to volunteers,” wrote Evian on Instagram. http://instagram.com/p/B-1Vor0Ks9S “We want to say a huge thank you to those on the front line, who are putting their lives at risk to help the most vulnerable,” they continued. Whether you did or not know, Maria Sharapova is also an ambassador of the French water brand. She even appeared in some adverts to promote it. Maybe the most impressive of them is the one in which she races Madison Keys in throwing empty water bottles to a bin. “We take care to choose the best packaging and format for each occasion in order to protect both the quality of our product, consumers health and the planet. In restaurants and hotels, we offer Evian in glass bottles that are returnable when possible: once empty, they are brought back to our bottling site to be cleaned and refilled,” Evian states on their site.

Sharapova still managed to enjoy her birthday on Sunday, even though the coronavirus pandemic had triggered emergency measures all around the world, including the United States. The 33 years old former world number one rode across the Pacific Ocean, enjoyed good food, watched the magic of ocean waves and sang along some RH Chilli Peppers tracks. http://instagram.com/p/B_Q3yrEJ-wy “Birthdays are still the best! Last night,we took a sunset road trip along PCH (Pacific Coast Highway), picked up lobster brioche rolls (and uni spaghetti!) from Broad Street Oyster Co drive through, made our way to a friend’s beach house (whom I didn’t even get to hug or speak to), made a wish looking at the waves, drove back singing alongside RH Chilli Peppers, and ate scraps of the honey cake my mom and I baked (because I wasn’t allowed eat the actual cake until today!)”, wrote Sharapova on Instagram. By sharing her birthday experience, Sharapova set an example, showing her fans that it’s possible to have fun while social distancing as well. And, besides, she got to indulge herself in quite a few kinds of cakes. The first sweet bite was taken even before her birthday came. http://instagram.com/p/B_K3SDrpJ9c “This little piece of cake goodness arrived at our doorstep this morning (happy early birthday to me) and didn’t make it past noon. Originally known as a German tree cake, the Japanese got some skin in the game and crafted several versions of their own. It’s one of my favorite morning coffee indulgences,” Sharapova wrote on Instagram. In exchange for sharing the way she celebrated her 33rd birthday, the Russian tennis player received many nice wishes from her followers.
