Did Maria Sharapova Just Win the Internet with Her Self-Deprecating Humor?

Maria Sharapova may have a trophy room the size of a yacht, but in 2025, she just earned something even rarer: the internet’s approval. After a hilariously awkward expression caught her courtside at the US Open, Sharapova didn’t run from the moment—she served it back with a wink.

The face? Unmistakable. She looked like someone just told her Nick Kyrgios is launching a jazz album. The camera caught her mid-stare, with a frozen, slightly horrified look that quickly took on a life of its own online.

Enter Maria’s counterpunch: a perfectly executed Instagram repost with the caption, “POV: You’re 2nd serve returning and your coach is about to shout at you.” Game. Set. Meme.

Fans were floored. In an era where celebs often pretend not to see viral moments (we see you, Zendaya), Sharapova leaned into hers with the comedic timing of a seasoned stand-up. The response was pure love. Comment sections exploded with laughing emojis, tennis puns, and declarations that Maria just “won Twitter.”

More than just a meme queen, Sharapova showed us that confidence isn’t just about poise—it’s about being able to laugh at yourself in 4K HD. And in a sport known for its seriousness, her playful jab at herself was a breath of fresh air.

So yes, Maria Sharapova just won the internet. And she did it without swinging a racquet—just by raising an eyebrow.
