Stuttgart, April 25: As we knew that Maria Sharapova is suspended for 15 months because she failed a drug test for medium during the 2016 Australian Open.
Now she is set to return from a 15-month suspension at the Stuttgart Grand Prix on Wednesday. The date is key, as Sharapova's ban only expires at Midnight on Tuesday.
The Russian has been given a Wildcard slot and will face world number 35, Italian Roberta Vinci.
It's seen as a kind draw for Sharapova’s return… Vinci last won a game in March when she progressed to the second round at Indian Wells. If Sharapova wins, a tense second round is on the cards.
Agnieska Radwanska is among those to criticize Sharapova's inclusion, and if she can overcome Ekaterina Makarova, the two will meet in the second round.
