Yesterday, she posted this picture of her having a Tarte Tatin, a French pastry in which the fruit is caramelised in butter and sugar before the tart is baked and is named after the hotel serving it as its signature dish, and wrote: "I guess a Tarte Tatin is as far as my French Open will go this year."

The two-time French Open champion has not played since January and had surgery on her shoulder in February. Sharapova had earlier announced on social media her withdrawal from the tournament and wrote: "Withdrawing from the French Open. Sometimes the right decisions aren't always the easiest ones. In better news, I have returned to the practice court, and slowly building the strength back in my shoulder. I really miss you Paris, until next year."
