Sharapova awaits news on French Open wildcard.

Maria Sharapova will find out today if she will be granted a wild card to this year’s French Open.

The Russian only recently returned from a 15-month drugs ban, and reached the semi finals at the Stuttgart Open.

As a result, she hasn’t amassed enough ranking points to compete at Roland-Garros on merit.

But financial pressures on the organisers in Paris may lead to Sharapova gaining entry to at least the qualifying rounds.
