Sharapova realistic on return

Maria Sharapova happily admits patience is not her strongest trait, but the Russian will temper her expectations as she begins her Australian Open title campaign.
The 26-year-old missed the last few months of the 2013 season, including the US Open, with an injury to her right shoulder, the same shoulder that required surgery in 2008.
She made an impressive return to the WTA Tour last week by reaching the semi-finals in Brisbane before losing to world No 1 Serena Williams.
