Maria Sharapova has been granted a wildcard for next month's WTA grasscourt event in Birmingham, a key Wimbledon warm-up, organisers said Thursday.
The decision came just a day after the Russian was refused a wildcard for the French Open.
“Sharapova has been named as the first of seven Main Draw singles wild cards for this summer's British WTA grass court events," said a statement.
