    Maria Sharapova granted US Open wild card

    Maria Sharapova is set to make her first grand slam appearance since serving a 15-month doping ban.Sharapova, a five-time major champion and a former world No. 1, has been given a wild card for the women's singles main draw at the US Open.
    The USTA made the announcement on Tuesday, also giving wild cards to Taylor Townsend, Kayla Day, Sofia Kenin, Ashley Kratzer, Brienne Minor and Amandine Hesse.
    Sharapova, 30, returned to the WTA Tour in April and is currently ranked No. 148. Due to her suspension, her ranking had plummeted to a level where she wasn't good enough to reach the main draw of the French Open, Wimbledon or the US Open, thus necessitating a wild card entry.

    She is not the same player without her Juice. She is way below her juiced up level, hence she would have never been famous and or a number 1 player if she did not take the juice . Her career is over , can't compete anymore .

    that's a bit much

    cilic and strycova played pretty well after their drug suspensions

    saying meldonium is "the juice" is also a stretch, probably not much different than caffeine or nicotine

    Happy she's back in. Hopefully somewhat healthy. It's just not the same only watching Giorgi/Wozniacki play, now I can add Sharapova to my watch list.

    When I saw Sharapova lose to Eugenie Bouchard earlier this year , did not look like the same player .
