A familiar face is back in tennis, but not everyone is happy about it.

Wednesday, Maria Sharapova returned to action at the Stuttgart Open and beat Roberta Vinci in straight sets in Round of 32 action.

Sharapova was suspended two years for doping last year, but the suspension was later reduced to 15 months.  

The suspension was handed down because Sharapova used Meldonium, a substance that was added to the International Tennis Federation's banned substances list just before she was suspended.

Now that she's back, it's natural that other players will be asked about her return, and one of those players that was asked about it was Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard.

Rather than welcoming her back with open arms, though, Bouchard sounded off on Sharapova returning to tennis:

The full interview with Bouchard is below:

 


We imagine many players feel the same way as Bouchard, but none of them have blasted Sharapova like Bouchard did.

 

 

Eugenie #Bouchard doesn't think Maria #Sharapova deserved another shot after failing a drug test last year.

The two won't go head-to-head at the tournament Sharapova's in as Bouchard is currently playing in the Istanbul Open and she'll be in quarter-final action Thursday.

When the two do play each other, however, we imagine the atmosphere will be more intense than their previous meetings.
