Sharapova, 37, retired from playing in 2020, having won 36 career titles, including Wimbledon in 2004.

Some fans still hailed her as beautiful on social media, while others were concerned that she was upset.

One posted: “She’s the star.”

A second wrote: “She’s is just amazing.”

A third commented: “She looks worried.”

Sharapova also reacted to the video on X, formerly known as Twitter.

She wrote: “I look like I just missed a second serve return on break point and saw my coach’s reaction.”

The Russian won the US Open back in 2006 and this year’s final will be contested by Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula on Saturday.
