Maria Sharapova returned to Wimbledon exactly 20 years (to the day) after winning said tournament.
The Russian star claimed the Grand Slam as a 17-year-old back in 2004, one of the five Grand Slams she won in her career.
She made a comeback this week, this time as a spectator, but was hardly recognizable as she’s no longer rocking the blonde hair she was known for during her playing days.
She’s all brunette now, and a photo of her sporting her new look is going viral.
“20 years to the day since her victory on Centre Court, @MariaSharapova watches on from the Royal Box 🤩 Wonderful to have you with us, Maria 💚,” the Wimbledon account shared to X.

What Maria Sharapova Had To Say
Maria Sharapova hadn’t been back at Wimbledon until this Wednesday and admitted that it felt a bit unreal.
“I feel like it’s been nice to reconnect with tennis venues again, to visit as a spectator,” she said, per Tennis.com. “I constantly watch you guys on Tennis Channel all the time. I love watching the sport and supporting all the great names in the new generation that’s coming up.
“But it’s a very different feeling being back. Although I have a healthy distance, I still feel like I’m a competitor at heart. You see those momentum swings in a match and you know that it’s an important moment…
“Being a spectator here is a lot of fun.”
Maria left tennis with 36 WTA title wins, including five majors – Wimbledon (1), Australian Open (1), U.S. Open (1), and French Open (2).
She also won three doubles titles.
