Will Sharapova play for Russia in Fed Cup final?

Russia’s Maria Sharapova has arrived in Moscow ahead of the Fed Cup final against Italy.

Speculation is rife, with no-one sure as yet, whether or not the world number four female tennis player will play for the national team.

But according to Russia’s manager, Shamil Tarpischev, Sharapova will be training together with the four girls already named in the team: Petrova, Vesnina, Chakvetadze and Kuznetsova.

He also says any support from Sharapova would be welcome.
