Nekadašnja najbolja tenisačica svijeta Ruskinja Maria Sharapova spremna je za povratak na teniski teren nakon što je zaliječila ozljedu ramena koja ju je van terena držala još od veljače ove godine.
Sharapova će se vratiti WTA turnirima u mallorci gdje će se u prvom meču susresti sa Slovakinjom Kuzmovom. Ruskinja je u vremenu odsutnosti pala s 27. na 86. mjesto na WTA ljestvici te je veliko pitanje koliko još može konkurirati s obzirom na zdravstvene probleme i 32 godine na leđima.
Sharapova je inače peterostruka osvajačica Grand Slam turnira, a iza nje je 15-mjesečna zabrana igranja tenisa zbog doping-afere koja je završila 2017. godine.
Iako je u tenisu nanizala zavidne uspjehe, Sharapova je uvijek bila više od sportske zvijezde. Lijep novac zaradila je kao model i lice mnogih kampanja te tako postala svjetski popularna.
EXCLUSIVE: *NO NY PAPERS* *NO WEB UNTIL 4pm EST on March 28, 2016* Maria Sharapova and Chelsea Handler soak up the sun on the beaches of Mexico. The friends, who showed off their slender frames in bikinis, sunbathed on the sand and took a dip in the ocean during their Easter holiday on March 26, 2016. Their vacation came just three weeks after tennis star Sharapova revealed she had failed a drugs test at the 2016 Australian Open and admitted to testing positive for meldonium.
