Maria Sharapova has announced on her website, mariasharapova.com, that she will play in Russia’s Fed Cup first round tie against Spain, which takes place at Moscow’s Olympic Indoor Arena on February 4th and 5th.

“Not sure if everyone knows, but I will be playing Fed Cup for Russia versus Spain after (the Australian Open),” she wrote. “So glad we get to play in Moscow! I will have four weeks in the Australian summer and then a week in the Moscow winter.”

It will be Sharapova’s first Fed Cup outing in a year, after she lost to Virginie Razzano of France.
