Former American world number one Serena Williams spoke about his relationship with a Russian woman Maria Sharapova .
— During my career, I have been close to several players, and we still are today. One of my best friends is Caroline Wozniacki. But it is a completely different type of relationship. But there are other players with whom I have always gotten along well and I will always get along well. I think Maria Sharapova is someone with whom I would like to… not really have a relationship, but I think we could be friends.
We’re always happy to see each other again. At the Met Gala, I literally looked for her and asked, ‘Where’s Maria? Where is she?’ I think she’s a really cool girl. I don’t regret anything, we both had to be incredibly competitive. And now that we’re in a different part of our lives, I have a lot of respect for her. Of course, I respected her when I was playing. “I had to prepare to win every time, but now that respect is of a completely different nature,” Williams was quoted as saying by Harpers Bazaar, citing ESPN .
Williams retired in 2022. She is a four-time Olympic champion and winner of 73 Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) tournaments. The American ranks second in women’s singles Grand Slam tournament victories (23).
Sharapova has won five Grand Slam tournaments and won 36 WTA singles titles throughout her career.
