Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova, who served a 15-month disqualification for the use of Meldonium and returned to the court at the end of April, did not receive an invitation (Wild Card) either to the qualification or the main net of the French open championship ( Roland Garros ). Thus, the Russian woman will miss the second large helmet tournament in the season.
During a special online broadcast on the Sosceti Facebook, Bernard Judicelli, President of the Facebook President, announced such a decision on May 16 during a special online broadcast. The day before, an updated rating of the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) was published, in which Sharapova rose to 47 positions, moving from 258th to 211st place.
Sharapova returned to the rating two weeks ago after leaving the disqualification. Since then, the tennis player has reached the semifinals of the tournament in Stuttgart and was defeated in the second round of the competition in Madrid.
Sharapova disqualification ended on April 26. Because of it, the tennis player was excluded from the WTA rating. However, as the winner of the large helmet tournaments and the final WTA championship, she can request and receive an unlimited amount of Wild Card. This, in particular, happened in Stuttgart, where the organizers of the tournament gave Sharapova Wild Card.
