Maria Sharapova has been elected to the International Tennis Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2025. The announcement was made on Thursday, October 24. Alongside Sharapova, American twins Bob and Mike Bryan, known as the most successful doubles team in history, will also be inducted.
The official induction ceremony is set for August 23 at the Hall of Fame in Newport, Rhode Island.
