Maria Sharapova is not having a great moment.
The Russian Beauty is now ranked world no. 7 and she is struggling to find her best tennis.
During a recent interview she has admitted she still has some problems with strengthening her shoulder “My shoulder feels good. Missing five or six months of the season last year, it takes a lot to build up the strength in it again.”
It’s one thing to come off and heal the injury, it’s another thing building that stamina in the shoulder to play a three-set match. That’s something I’m still working on and it’s not at the level I want it to be.”
Maria will play Kurumi Nara in her Miami opener
