Maria Sharapova revealed she was informed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) few days ago that she had failed a drug at the 2016 Australian Open as she staged a surprise press-conference in Los Angeles on Monday.
Two of the most aggressive, stylish players in the world went head to head not only for the Australian Open title, but for the World Number One spot. Vika Azarenka took the win 63 60 and this is the (brief) story of the match.
A fitting send off for a legend of the sport. Here are the 25 minutes of David Ferrer retirement ceremony and emotional speech on the clay of Madrid. Thank you, take care and good luck David !
