Maria Sharapova has mentioned that she hoped to retire after having played the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Sharapova, a silver-medallist at the 2012 London Games, was forced to miss the 2016 Rio Olympics because she was serving a ban for using Meldonium.
The former world no. 1 also stated: “I received 15 months because I didn’t delegate the job to my agent well enough. I didn’t check with him at the end of 2015 and make sure he was checking that list.”
Sharapova also went on to criticize the ITF for what she considers poor communication on its part about informing athletes about such changes.
“You have no notices, no emails, no direct communications such as other associations and federations did,” she said.
