The world number two Maria Sharapova changed his mind and announced that she would play for Russia in the semi-finals of the World Group "Fed Cup". The match against Germany will be on the 18-th and 19-th of April in Sochi on clay.
After the victory over Poland in Krakow in the first round, Maria Sharapova said that the next game of "sbornaya" is not on her itinerary. Today came the change of decision.
Tennis World commented that if Sharapova plays in the game against Germany, it certainly will ensure her participation in the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro next year. This was the basis of the consent of Masha.
According to Russian media, however the reason was rather sentimental. The match would be in Sochi, where Sharapova has lived as a child and where she first has caught the tennis racket.
Ekaterina Makarova also has said last month, that she would play for Russia in the semi-finals.
