Cue the Sound Of Music:

In the opening match of the Rod Laver Arena slate at the Australian Open for 2022, the viewing public of the galaxy encountered a Maria conundrum to rival the Sound of Music, as Women’s 5th seed Maria Sakkari played German Tatjana Maria.

Indeed, back in 2018, Tatjana Maria played Maria Sharapova in the 1st Round at Melbourne Park, and just for a laugh, the Channel 7 graphics team did the same damn thing the Nine team did:
