Early morning trek through the rainforest downpour to see the Silverback Gorillas 🦍 😅 pic.twitter.com/GN05cdiSYP — Maria Sharapova (@MariaSharapova) November 13, 2019 Despite an injury-prone career, Sharapova has achieved a rare level of longevity in womens tennis, having won at least one singles title a year from 2003 until 2015, a streak only bested by three players; Steffi Graf, Martina Navratilova, and Chris Evert.
