When Maria Sharapova opened up about working hard toward her physical fitness

In an interview with Tennis Canada in 2023, Maria Sharapova opened up about the adversities she navigated in her physical health after suffering major injuries during her tournaments. She revealed that she worked too hard to get back into shape; however, her body wasn't receptive to that. She also confessed that the urge to keep going came from her stubbornness, which she eventually had to let go.

“Toward the end of my career, I tried very, very hard to get my body back in shape and injury-free. And a lot of that came from my stubbornness because I truly believed I could repair my ligaments and my tendons in my shoulder just if I worked harder," said Maria Sharapova.

She added:

“And sometimes, you have to let go of that stubbornness in order for there to be more beautiful things in your life to open up."

Along with this, she further spoke about the busy schedule of tennis players.

“You have to be okay with the fact that you’re not always going to be there for someone if you have a career that entails you to be on the road for 10-11 months. But first and foremost, I knew the one thing I was strong at was tennis."

Maria Sharapova has nabbed all four Grand Slams and five singles majors, and along with this, she also won 14 WTA 100 titles.
