Maria terug in Warschau
Maria Sharapova maakt volgende week in Polen haar langverwachte rentree in het enkelspel.
De 22-jarige Russin is weer helemaal speelklaar na een absentie van acht maanden wegens een schouderblessure.
Dat liet de voormalige nummer 1 van de wereldranglijst maandag weten op haar persoonlijke website.
Terugkeer
Maria heeft haar terugkeer in het WTA-circuit verscheidene keren moeten uitstellen. Ze kwam in maart alleen in actie in Indian Wells in het dubbelspel.
Ze verloor toen al in de eerste ronde. Indien het optreden in Polen voorspoedig verloopt, zal de Russische publiekstrekker waarschijnlijk ook op Roland Garros verschijnen voor de Open Franse titelstrijd, die op 24 mei begint.

“I am very sorry to announce that I am not going to be able to defend my title at this year’s Australian Open,” Sharapova explained. “My shoulder is doing great, but I just started training a few weeks ago and I am just not near the level I need to be to compete at the highest levels.

Maria en haar team na het behalen van de
Australian Open titel in 2008
Maria went on to win her first 18 matches of the season and went on to reclaim her world No.1 ranking in May. A nagging shoulder injury hampered her progress in the second half of the year, forced her out of the Olympics and the US Open and ending her season. The last match she played for the year was in Montreal in August.
Tournament Director Craig Tiley said he was disappointed for Sharapova because he knows how hard she has been working since the injury and how much she wanted to defend her crown.
“She played some amazing tennis on Rod Laver Arena last year and has a massive legion of fans in Australia. I know she has been working around the clock to try and get back from the shoulder injury. In the end time beat her this year.”
“We wish her well with her return to tennis and look forward to seeing her back in Melbourne next year,” Tiley said. “Maria is always welcome here.”
