“I feel like it’s been nice to reconnect with tennis venues again, to visit as a spectator,” Sharapova reflected. “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.”
Famous for her love for fashion and keen eye for styling, Sharapova stole the show with a head-to-toe Burberry look—a smart nod to the tournament’s traditional English roots. Sharapova rocked a wool safari shirt and trousers in honey beige, pairing the fit with a mini ivy green bag featuring the British luxury brand’s signature peg clip, tortoiseshell sunglasses and matching pumps.
