On April 25, Maria Sharapova will be forbidden to set foot on the grounds of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, Germany, still barred for a 2016 doping violation. The next day, she will be the star attraction there.
Porsche announced on Tuesday that Sharapova, 29, would make her return to tennis at its WTA tournament in Stuttgart, receiving a wild card to play the indoor clay event where she is a three-time champion and a prominent spokeswoman for the title sponsor automaker.
