Former Wimbledon champion and world’s sexiest tennis player looks unrecognisable in new project with John McEnroe
MARIA SHARAPOVA looks completely unrecognisable in a hilarious clip with fellow tennis legend John McEnroe.
Sharapova retired in 2020 after a glittering career that saw her win every major Grand Slam title, including Wimbledon.
The 36-year-old will appear on the newest episode of McEnroe's ESPN+ show Places.
The episode is titled 'Coming to America' and features Sharapova recalling her journey from Russia to the United States as a young girl and overcoming a series of challenges.
The two legends are shown going to a tennis court located on the beach.

But they meet a sign saying 'No Trespassing' that McEnroe casually kicks to the ground.
Sharapova is left bewildered, but the American great insisted there will be no trouble in his trademark style.
McEnroe yelled: "Come on, Maria. You cross an ocean and a continent to pursue your dreams. What's the little sign going to do?"
Sharapova's 4.6million followers rushed to the comments' section after she shared that sneak peek, with many begging her to return to action.
One fan posted: "I miss seeing you on court Masha."
Another commented: ";2 icons of international tennis."
A third wrote: "Miss you on court Maria."
This fan said: "Maria I miss you. Come back."
And another stated: "The chaotic energy is there and I LOVE it."
