She retired from playing tennis four years ago after battling with injuries, but had the final years of her time in the sport marred by a failed drugs test. 

A 2016 test saw her suspended for two years after she was found to have ingested meldonium, a substance which had been banned at the start of that year, ahead of the n Open.

Her suspension was later reduced to 15 months after she was found to have taken the drug as per her doctor’s advice.

Her last appearance as a player at Wimbledon came in 2010 when Maria retired from her first round contest against Pauline Parmentier with an injury.
