BRISBANE: Former world number one Maria Sharapova said Tuesday she still had"a lot of fire" as she attempts to resurrect her career after an injury-plagued 2019.
"But I still feel there is a lot in me to give. I still have a lot of fire in me and I am big competitor." She has slipped to 133 in the world rankings after a 2019 season ruined by a shoulder injury which limited her to 15 competitive matches."As long as the shoulder stays healthy and my body allows me to, I hope there is a lot of time left for me," she said.
World number two Karolina Pliskova is also playing as are fellow top 10 stars Elina Svitolina, Petra Kvitova and Kiki Bertens.
