Maria’s Fed Cup pull out costs her
I know, I’m behind on the news yet again, but I’m working on catching up.
Maria Sharapova has been dropped from the Russia team for the Fed Cup final against Italy in Moscow in September.
The world number two angered Russian tennis officials after pulling out of last week’s semi-final at the last minute, saying she was not fit.“I feel it just wouldn’t be right to invite Sharapova this time,” said Russia team captain Shamil Tarpishchev.
Asked if he would pick Sharapova next year, Tarpishchev said he would review the situation at the end of the season.

When will she just admit she should be playing for the US anyway? And did anyone think she would actually play? After that Wimbledon loss, I was just waiting for the news she wasn’t going to play.
