SINGAPORE — Maria Sharapova hasn't played a whole match since Wimbledon but the Russian believes she's healthy enough to compete Sunday at the season-ending WTA Finals.
"It's a big step for me to be here and feel that I am healthy," Sharapova said. "It will be a bigger step that I'll be able to compete in those three (group) matches and finish them off healthy. That's my goal."
The third-seeded Sharapova was recovering from a leg injury after Wimbledon, where she journeyed to the semifinals. She didn't play again until Wuhan, China, earlier this month when she was forced to retire in the third set of her first match back with a left arm injury.
