Maria Sharapova, tested positive for meldonium-a prohibited substance- in last year's Australian Open, has gotten wild cards into Stuttgart, Madrid and Rome this year. Andy Murray does not think Maria Sharapova or other doping guilty parties ought to be given special cases into competitions yet comprehends why the Russian is being invited back.
That doesn't sit well with Andy Murray, who trusts that those indicted doping ought to need to begin from the base and work their way up, and not be given any special treatment. The five-time grand slam champion will be unranked when she makes her arrival from a 15-month doping ban one month from now. She has been ensured as special cases into competitions in Stuttgart where her first match will be the day her boycott runs out on April 26 - Madrid and Rome, reports Independent.
The Russian will require a special case to play at the French Open and, unless she does exceptionally well at her rebound competitions, is probably going to face similar circumstance at Wimbledon. The All England Club will most likely be trusting Sharapova to gain her place by right, for in the event that she doesn't will make things tricky for for the club.
Not offering passage to a previous champion would be a major call, yet apparently supporting a player who has served a doping suspension would likewise be questionable. Tennis has experienced harsh criticism for its anti-doping practices, and competitions and representing bodies have been quick to stretch their solid position on the issue reports, Msn.
What's more, Sharapova, notwithstanding not having played a competition in over a year, is still one of the greatest names in the game. A five-time Grand Slam champion and previous world No. 1, the 29-year-old Russian remains a noteworthy fascination and will certainly offer tickets.
On the off chance that Sharapova plays well in front of Wimbledon, which starts on July 3, she could acquire enough positioning points to fit the bill for the fundamental draw at the All England Club. She'll have to get a special case to play the French Open, however.
