Maria Sharapova posed in SI a few years ago

Over the years, several notable athletes have posed for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Just this year, tennis star Naomi Osaka was featured on one of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit covers. Osaka was the first Haitian and Japanese woman to be featured on the cover of the iconic magazine issue.

A little more than a decade ago, another tennis star, Maria Sharapova, posed for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.

Maria Sharapova, now 34, posed for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in 2006. The Russian tennis star turned pro in 2001. By 2006, she was one of the biggest tennis stars in the world.

Alex Morgan, Genie Bouchard, Lindsey Vonn, Paige Spiranacm Danica Patrik and more have all posed for the iconic magazine.

Sharapova, meanwhile, retired from tennis in 2020. She finished her career with a record of 645–171. The Russian star has five Grand Slam singles titles – two French Open titles and one title each at Wimbledon, the US Open and the Australian Open.
