Maria Sharapova celebrated her 38th birthday on Saturday at a posh and stylish retreat in Tokyo, Japan. She was also kind enough to give her fans on Instagram a preview of how she spent the special occasion.
The five-time Grand Slam champion uploaded an in-gym mirror selfie early that morning, with the message, “The only jet lag I accept is in Tokyo. And if it’s at a gym at 5:30 am, preferably the @aman_tokyo,” showcasing her fitness-conscious routine regardless of the occasion and her holiday destination.
Maria Sharapova’s love affair with Japan continued, where she has been a frequent visitor during her career and in retirement. Her decision to stay at the upscale Aman Tokyo hotel speaks to her love of the city’s importance of tradition and modernity.
Fans and peers from the tennis community also celebrated her birthday by pouring her birthday greetings through social media.
The official X (formerly Twitter) account for the Australian Open posted, “I love Australia! Happy birthday, @MariaSharapova,” along with a video reel of her memorable Australian Open experiences.
The Tennis Letter also offered birthday wishes in the form of a tweet, stating, “Happy Birthday to Maria Sharapova.”
The U.S. Open also posted a special video for Maria, remembering her iconic and fond memories at Flushing Meadows. Meanwhile, fan accounts such as @NewsSharapova also sent greeting messages, calling her “an incredible human being.”
Sharapova will be inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame in August as part of the Class of 2025. She is one of 10 women to have won the career Grand Slam.
As she continues to navigate her post-tennis life, Sharapova remains a source of inspiration with her commitment to health, world travel and multiple businesses, extending the lasting legacy she has created both on and off the tennis court.
