MOSCOW (Reuters) - Maria Sharapova will not settle for lower-tier titles after making her comeback last year and the former world number one is determined to add to her five grand slam crowns.
The 31-year-old Russian returned from a 15-month doping ban at the Stuttgart Grand Prix last April and Sharapova has since won one title, the Tianjin Open, after inconsistent performances and injury problems.
She is back in Stuttgart this year and plays Caroline Garcia in the first round later on Tuesday.
Sharapova, who won her last grand slam title at the 2014 French Open, has no plans to retire.
