Maria Sharapova was denied an invitation to Roland Garros
The head of the French Tennis Federation, Bernard Gidechelli, said that Maria Sharapova will not receive an invitation (wild card) to Rolland Garros, where she is not ranked. According to Gidechelli, she would have received an invitation if she had returned from an injury, but after allegations of doping, he refused to call her. As the sports official emphasized, Sharapova will be able to speak at the tournament only when she earns a sufficient rating.
