Sharapova pays visit to Nike headquarters

Published Nov 16, 2016

Proving once again that all is well in the world of Maria Sharapova, the Russian visited Nike's headquarters in Portland. In case you've forgotten, when Sharapova first delivered news of her failed drug test for meldonium, their sponsorship deals with her.

When the five-time Grand Slam champion was sentenced to a two-year ban in June, Nike changed its mind.

"Maria has always made her position clear, has apologized for her mistake and is now appealing the length of the ban," Nike said in a statement. "Based on the decision of the ITF and their factual findings, we hope to see Maria back on court and will continue to partner with her."

Which explains why she's busy planning and designing her outfits for 2017.

After an appeal in October, Sharapova's ITF suspension was reduced to 15 months and she will return in late April, decked out from head to toe in Nike.
