ؒLondon (May 03, 2017): English Tennis Star Andy Murray expects that Maria Sharapova will be allowed to participate in Wimbledon in July.
Murray, however, said he expected the five-times grand slam champion would be on the grasscourts of south-west London.
“I think there’s a good chance Wimbledon would give her one (a wild card) to get into qualifying,” Murray told reporters at an event for June’s Aegon Championships tournament at the Queen’s Club in London.
“I think we’ve got to wait and see what happens because there might not even be a decision to be made because she might be in the main draw after Madrid or Rome, so there’s a good chance she can get in by right.”
The Russian can qualify for the main draw at Wimbledon by reaching the semi-final of either the Madrid or Rome tournaments.
The rankings deadline for Wimbledon qualification is May 29.
