Sharapova began the 2019 season fairly strong by reaching the round of 16 at the Australian Open. The Russian was forced to withdraw from Indian Wells and the Miami Open. She has since revealed she underwent shoulder surgery and has pulled out of Stuttgart and Madrid. Ranked No. 28, she'll lose 1 point in Stuttgart, 215 points in Madrid and if she withdraws from Rome, that'll be 350 points.

Her many fans are still supporting her, and eagerly awaiting good news. They congratulated her on her special day.

Sharapova may still return in Rome, which would serve as her sole warm-up event before defending a quarterfinal run at the French Open.
