analysis
Russell Fuller, BBC tennis correspondent
improvements to the Roehampton website online were on the All England membership's schedule for some time, but I think it might be truthful to say progress was given a further sense of urgency by the feasible appearance of Sharapova and all those her presence would attract.
The 2004 champion may want to well play herself into the principle draw by means of attaining the semi-finals in both Madrid or Rome, which allowed Richard Lewis to reply questions about wildcards as purely hypothetical for now.
past Wimbledon shape and success in tournaments leading as much as the championships, specially the ones on grass, are factors the committee will recollect. Sharapova will rating incredibly in at the least one of these categories, and Lewis additionally instructed me that perspectives expressed via a few different gamers are not in all likelihood to show relevant.
but he could now not be drawn on how a whole lot weight Sharapova's anti-doping violation might carry. this is the crux of the problem, and really a good deal right down to the seven people who will document into the All England membership on Tuesday, 20 June.
