The five-time grand slam winner Maria Sharapova opened up about being banned from competing in tennis at a news conference at the LPGA ANA Inspiration tournament on Tuesday (March 28, 2017). "You don't realize how much you love something and how much something means to you until you lose it for some time," Sharapova said. She added, though, the ban gave her a 'chance to live'. She is expected to return to competition tennis at the Stuttgart Grand Prix on April 24.
