Moscow: Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova has no plans of arriving in Moscow to watch the Kremlin Cup tennis tournament, Russian Tennis Federation (RTF) president Shamil Tarpishchev said yesterday.
"No, she is staying in the United States and continues practicing there," Tarpishchev said on Monday when asked whether Sharapova would come as a guest to the Kremlin Cup.
The Kremlin Cup is held at the Moscow Olympic Stadium between October 15 and 23 and has $1.5 million in prize money up for grabs. Sharapova, who is currently under suspension over anti-doping rules violations, has been allowed by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) to play at exhibition matches before her ban expires.
The tennis player has been serving a two-year suspension for the violation of anti-doping regulations since January 26.
