During her sit down interview with Good Morning America host Michael Strahan, Maria said the US Open was ‘an incredible moment for me where I just, I knew what I went through.’
Adding: ‘I just knew all the ups and downs that I had face in the last couple of years.
She said that getting back to the tennis court was her ‘wish’ and she ‘made that happen.’
Her suspension occurred after her urine sample from the Australian Open in 2016 had meldonium in it.

The drug, which increases oxygen and blood flow, was banned on January 1, 2016 by the World Anti-Doping Agency.
She said she took it for medical reasons, because of her family history of diabetes and heart issues.
When asked how she didn’t know it was banned, she said on the ABC show: ‘It’s a question that I was asking for quite some time but once you get past that, you know, it’s time to move on.’
