The international tennis player received a two-year suspension from the International Tennis Federation (ITF) after testing positive for meldonium at the Australian Open this June.

The player had then appealed the suspension portion to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). If the decision by CAS, expected by 18 July, eliminates or greatly reduces her suspension, Sharapova could compete at the Rio Olympics in August.

The Russian player, who has got great support from her fans through the tough ban, also received the advice of former American tennis player James Blake.
