    Maria Sharapova had jokes after ESPN cameras captured her looking somber while at the US Open on Thursday.

    The Russian tennis great — who retired after 36 titles, including five Grand Slams, in 2020 — become an internet meme while in a suite during the women’s semifinals match between American Emma Navarro and Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

    “I look like I just missed a second serve return on break point and saw my coach’s reaction,” Sharapova wrote , including two laughing emojis.
