MELBOURNE - Maria Sharapova said on Tuesday she was delighted to be back in the old routine after a trying 2017 as she sailed into the second round of the Australian Open.
It was the Russian's first match at Melbourne Park for two years, having tested positive for performance-enhancing meldonium in Australia in 2016 and serving a 15-month doping suspension that expired in April.
She sealed a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Germany's Tatjana Maria in style with an ace.
