Maria Sharapova's wildcard entry sparks civil war at LTAThe toxic issue of wildcards for Maria Sharapova now appears to have spilled over into domestic British tennis with a row involving the Russian breaking out at the Lawn Tennis Association. There is a split in opinion at the governing body's Roehampton headquarters about whether the former world No 1 should be offered a privileged entry into the grass court events they run leading into Wimbledon. Outgoing chief executive Michael Downey is keen that a space should be made available to her at Birmingham's Aegon Classic, in the middle of the three weeks between the French Open and The Championships.

Former world No 1 Maria Sharapova is in line for a wildcard entry at the Aegon Classic. Sharapova has caused a stir upon her return from a 1. Showtime Full The Quiet Ones Online Free. A marketing man, he is keen to boost flagging ticket sales with her presence, and to overlook any dilemma about whether it sends out the wrong signals to specially accommodate someone coming back from a doping suspension. This has not pleased some others within the organisation, with Fed Cup captain Anne Keothavong among them.

Andy Murray — who beat Romanian Marcus Copil 6- 4 6- 3 in the second round of the Mutua Madrid Open — on Tuesday night gave off an exasperated air about a topic he feels strongly about.'I made myself pretty clear earlier in the year,' he said, of his call that those have had doping bans should start from the bottom without wildcards.'But these are not my decisions to make and they are going to do what they think is best for the tournament. You can see the amount of attention it generates. I don't agree with every decision they (LTA) make performance wise or grass roots wise. It's up to them, right or wrong.'Sharapova's privileged entry into grass court events leading into Wimbledon is being debated.

Outgoing chief executive Michael Downey is keen that a space should be made available to her. Of the specific Sharapova question he said: 'When someone does speak out against it, it becomes huge news. It is aggravating sometimes. Watch Cadillac Records Online Fandango.

It has been a very divisive subject and I'm sure there have been disagreements.'The likes of Murray and Keothavong are concerned about the mixed messages wildcards give over the use of performing enhancing substances. Separately, there is also a desire to see a full hand of wildcards available to GB players if needs be. The situation is exacerbated by the fact that Downey is leaving and heading back to his native Canada after Wimbledon.

The LTA insist that they have not approached the Sharapova camp, who have been sounding out forthcoming events about wildcard availability. However, it does appear that the governing body has privately indicated that one would be available prior to Wimbledon if requested. A LTA spokesperson said: 'We are currently in the process of deciding which players will receive wildcards for our summer season grass court events. It's a carefully considered process which happens at this time every year.'Andy Murray has given off an exasperated air about a topic he feels strongly about.

Anne Keothavong is unsure about wildcards being handed to Sharapova after her drugs ban. As with so much of this whole issue a lot of it is theoretical, with the player herself not knowing what her schedule is. At this point she does not even know whether she will be playing the French Open or Wimbledon. She also has offers from grass court tournaments in Holland and Mallorca between the two Grand Slams. If she were to play Paris and do well there she could alter her plans anyway. The matter was further clouded in uncertainty by her second- round exit on Monday night from the Madrid Open, which still leaves her short of an automatic place in Wimbledon qualifying.

Murray was satisfied with an improved serving performance against the powerful Romanian, and will now face either Borna Coric or Frenchman Pierre Hugues Herbert as he tries to replicate reaching the final last year. He concluded, somewhat understandably: 'I've just won a match here, I've not been playing particularly well and I'm standing here having to discuss wild cards for Sharapova for like the tenth time.'.
