Maria Sharapova, the two-time French Open champion has been denied a wild card entry at the French open by the French Tennis Federation. Bernard Giudicelli (French Tennis Federation president) said that he personally told Sharapova that it was not possible to allow her to compete at Roland Garros because of her doping ban. The 30-year-old champion (Maria Sharapova) returned to tennis last month (April) after serving her 15 months ban because of doping. Though her suspension is over but the French Tennis Federation deemed it not right to allow Sharapova to compete in this year French open which will begin on May 28.
