Maria Sharapova crashes out of Kremlin Cup in the first round

Maria Sharapova suffered a first-round exit at the Kremlin Cup in her native Russia just two days after winning her first WTA title since returning from a drugs ban. The 30-year-old was back on home soil for the first time since serving a 15-month ban for testing positive for the banned substance meldonium, but was ousted in straight sets 7-6 6-4 by Slovakian Magdalena Rybarikova.
