Moscow — A mysterious phone call from Maria Sharapova in the middle of the night sent Russian and international media into a frenzy. At exactly 12:47 a.m., the vintage landline phone in the former tennis star’s living room reportedly rang — and minutes later, a cryptic message leaked: “Sharapova is about to announce something unprecedented.”
The moment the rumor hit social media, dozens of reporters rushed to her residence in Sochi. Several international outlets pushed “breaking news” alerts, igniting a wave of speculation not seen since Sharapova’s retirement.
One call, three sentences, and a new mystery
According to a source who claims to have overheard the brief conversation, Sharapova said only three sentences:
“It’s time.”
“Tell them I’m ready.”
“Tomorrow, everything changes.”
No one knows what she meant. A comeback? A business empire expansion? A deeply personal life decision?
Speculation goes wild
Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok erupted:
Some fans believe she’s gearing up for a one-match exhibition return.
Analysts speculate she is about to unveil a high-stakes sports-business venture.
A few conspiracy-leaning users claimed she’s involved in a secret project linked to the 2028 Olympics.
Journalists on ‘emergency mode’
Sports Daily reported that more than 30 journalists gathered outside her residence within 20 minutes of the first rumor. One reporter said:
“I was asleep when my emergency alert went off. My editor only said, ‘Get to Sharapova’s house—now!’”
Several newsrooms even activated their “flash alert protocol,” normally reserved for events like Wimbledon finals or major international tournaments.
Sharapova remains silent
By 3 a.m., Sharapova had still not appeared. The lights were off, the doors remained shut, and her social media accounts stayed frozen.
Fans waited. Reporters whispered theories. And one thing became certain: A single midnight phone call was enough to make the world watch Sharapova again — even in total silence.
