Sharapova unhappy with publicity shoot

Maria Sharapova has launched a stinging attack on the governing body of women's tennis over their publicity demands. The world number three says the WTA is forcing her to do a publicity shoot in Rome, ahead of the Italian Open, after flying in from Los Angeles. A fine of $ 300,000 may be imposed by WTA if she opts out of the shoot. The tournament is scheduled to begin on 12 May.
