AP, ROMEThree tournaments into her return from a 15-month doping ban, Maria Sharapova has already gained enough rankings points to enter qualifying for Wimbledon. The win earned Sharapova enough points to enter the top 200 of the rankings and earn at least a spot in qualifying at the All England Club. I will be focused on my match, as I’m playing tomorrow,” Sharapova said, adding that she would accept a qualifying wild card. Tournament organizers were criticized for giving a wild card to Sharapova instead of former French Open champion Francesca Schiavone, an Italian. McHale went on to win that point and game, but Sharapova broke the American’s serve in the next game to end it.
