Fans can’t get enough of former world’s sexiest tennis player’s ‘stunning’ outfit as she prepares to cover US Open
MARIA SHARAPOVA wowed fans with her “stunning” outfit ahead of the US Open.
The tennis icon – once dubbed the world’s sexiest player – is back at Flushing Meadows 17 years on from her Grand Slam victory in New York.
And the former world No1 dazzled in the stands of the Arthur Ashe Stadium in a matching black jacket, trousers, top and heels all in black.
Sharapova, 36, posted a snap for her 4.6million Instagram followers.
And that led to an influx of adoring messages from her fans.
One said: “Still the most beautiful woman on planet earth.”
Another wrote: “The most beautiful tennis player of all time.”
A third added: “You have always been…and always will be legendary.”
And a final user commented: “Absolutely stunning! Where is your outfit from?”
Sharapova even shared the final reply – and revealed it was an Isabel Marant number with Charles & Keith accessories.
Earlier in the day in New York, she was rocking her sunglasses despite the pouring rain in the Big Apple.
The Russian superstar also did a Q&A with fans on social media before smiling for photos with a few youngsters inside tennis’ biggest arena just days before the fourth major of the year gets underway.
Sat with her agent Max Eisenbud – who also looks after Emma Raducanu – Sharapova chose pizza over hot dogs and revealed she was in New York for a bit of work, including with IBM.
She also joked they were wearing black because it “makes him look skinny, me because it felt right”.
But the five-time Grand Slam winner refused to entertain Eisenbud’s hint at a possible return to tennis following her retirement in 2020.
Her final appearance at the US Open was back in 2019, when she was brutally smashed 6-1 6-1 by Serena Williams in the first round.
Sharapova showed fans she is still in tip-top condition, posting a video from her workout in the gym this week – just a couple of weeks after soaking up the sun on holiday in Greece.
And the mum-of-one also cut a new look in a hilarious clip with John McEnroe.
