Fellow tennis players reacted negatively to her announcement, with almost no support or sympathy in general for Sharapova. John McEnroe and Pat Cash said they found it hard to believe her. Jennifer Capriati posted on Twitter that she should be stripped of her 35 professional titles. Chris Evert expressed her surprise at the lack of support in tennis for Sharapova, noting that she "[had] always isolated herself from the rest of the tennis world, from the players". Serena Williams expressed surprise at Sharapova’s announcement and asked tennis officials not to extend any special treatment towards her. Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray said that Sharapova deserved to be punished on the basis that she had failed to take notice that meldonium had become a prohibited substance, Murray adding that "Taking a drug you don't necessarily need because it's legal is wrong".[185] Roger Federer urged the tennis federation to conduct more anti-doping tests in the wake of Sharapova's drug test case. Novak Djokovic said that he felt sorry for her, but that she must still be ready for punishment. Victoria Azarenka and Dominika Cibulkova were far less supportive, with Cibulkova adding that she didn't feel sorry at all for Sharapova and didn't miss having her on the tour, describing her as "a totally unlikeable person; arrogant, conceited, and cold".

 

Following the announcement, as a result of the failed drug test personal sponsors Nike andTAG Heuer suspended their relationships with Sharapova, while Porsche postponed promotional work. The United Nations Development Programme suspended Sharapova from her role as a goodwill ambassador on March 16, while expressing thanks for her support of their work over the previous nine years.

 

SharaROIDA!!! Caroline Wozniaki is good friends with Serena, and all of the other girls on the tour respect her. Maria has been taking this PED for 10 YEARS!!!
