The Oscars last year will remain one of the most talked about Academy awards for years to come for both good and bad reasons. Tennis wise, legendary sisters Venus and Serena Williams had a blast as their film ‘King’ Richard fetched Will Smith his first-ever ‘Best Actor’ award at the prestigious event. However, the awards landed into controversy when Mr.Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock for the latter’s comments towards Jada Pinkett-Smith. Serena, who was present at the event, decided to shower only love on her ‘King’ Richard actor as she urged fans to excuse Smith for his behavior.

Serena Williams’ arch-rival Maria Sharapova teases Oscars 2023 appearance in a stunning message

Sharapova, who recently gave birth to a son, wrote, “Oscar Prep. The essentials.” The short clip had Maria taking care of her son as she gets ready to prepare for the big event. The veteran Russian star doesn’t stop there as she continued to post her outfit prep in a series of stories.

However, there is a slight glitch as Sharapova reveals how constant rain is not doing any good to her preparation for the big event.

And this doesn’t help. This must be the rainiest season in decades,” wrote Sharapova. The Russian, who enjoyed a stellar tennis career, spent most part of her sporting life in America and managed to establish a unique brand name for herself with clever off-court collaborations.
