Maria Sharapova and Eugenie Bouchard will be taking the field after two years on Monday, May 8, in the second round of their women's singles match at the Madrid Open in Spain. The two gorgeous tennis beauties have collided four times in the past, with Sharapova winning all of them.

RESULT AND HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE MATCH.

Unexpected comments like "cheater" has been made by Bouchard on Sharapova after the latter returned to tennis following a 15-month doping suspension; the 30-year-old had revealed about her intake of the banned substance meldonium last year.

According to 23-year-old Bouchard, injustice has been done to women's tennis by allowing Sharapova to return to tennis. The Russian was given wildcards for tennis tournaments.

Sharapova came close to reaching the finals of the Stuttgart Open last month, before getting defeated by Kristina Mladenovic, and now, she has her eyes on the Madrid Open tennis title. Sharapova has also received a wildcard to take part in the Italian Open 2017, starting later this month.

It is not decided, however, whether she would be given a wildcard for the French Open 2017 and Wimbledon 2017.

"Hope I can play Maria," was all Genie Bouchard had to say after her first round win against Alize Cornet. The Canadian's opponent in the second round wasn't decided then, but now that her hopes have come true, it needs to be seen whether the tennis hottie can indeed create any sort of an upset on Monday.
