ATP News: Maria Sharapova, Bryan Bros. named to tennis Hall of Fame

Five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova joined twin brothers Bob and Mike Bryan in being named to the International Tennis Hall of Fame’s Class of 2025 on Thursday.

The trio will be inducted on Aug. 23 at the Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I.

“Beyond each of their historic accomplishments on the court, the Class of 2025 have had such a profound impact on the game of tennis and have inspired multiple generations of fans across the world,” International Tennis Hall of Fame president Kim Clijsters said. “We look forward to celebrating them in Newport next year.”

Sharapova achieved the career Grand Slam, winning the French Open twice (2012, 2014), and Wimbledon (2004), the U.S. Open (2006) and Australian Open (2008) once. She won 36 singles titles and was the first Russian woman to reach No. 1 (2005).

Sharapova, now 37, retired in 2020 after a 19-year career.

“I knew that Kim Clijsters would be the source of good news!” Sharapova said after being contacted by Clijsters on a video call. “I remember the first time I ever thought of the prestige of the Hall of Fame: After winning my first Grand Slam, I was asked for a dress to showcase in the museum, and I was like, ‘Oh my goodness.’ It was one of those moments of joy that come after a big victory.

“In retirement, you very seldomly get to reflect on your past, because you move on so quickly with life’s responsibilities. This is an incredible recognition. Thank you so much. I’m so grateful to the Hall of Fame and grateful to the voters.”

The Bryans, now 46, teamed for 119 titles, including 16 Grand Slams, and won the 2012 Olympic gold medal in London.

“It’s been a great ride, the career, doing it together,” Bob said in a virtual call with Clijsters.

“There were a lot of people that were involved in our career,” Mike added. “Obviously our parents, who made tennis fun for us, supported us along the way with unconditional love and support.”
