WTA хочет, чтобы Мария играла в теннис ещё много лет

Мы тоже надеемся , что поиграет подольше , а потом возглавит WTA !)

Simon awaits the Sharapova decision with bated breath. Her marketability consistently tops that of any female athlete globally. “I think Maria deserves a lot of credit for coming forward the way that she did. She showed the integrity she has both as an athlete and as a person,” Simon said. “That being said, no athlete is above the rules, I don’t care who you are. … Whatever that process determines her penalties will be, we will support. I hope when those penalties are served that Maria will come back and play and finish her career the way that I know she would like to finish it.

“Clearly we miss any top player when they are not there and Maria is one and we’ve missed her,” Simon said of Sharapova’s absence since the Australian Open. “Unfortunately, sports is an unforgiving world. The world moves on and the next players come who fans are going to embrace. I would love to see her come back and play.”
