She has been back on the sports field for six months since she returned from a 15-month doping ban.

And Maria Sharapova exuded confidence when she arrived at the Yas Marina racetrack in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on Saturday ahead of the Grand Prix.

The 30-year-old sports superstar ditched her tennis whites as she flaunted her ace figure in a form-fitting pinstriped jumpsuit off the pitch.

Accentuating her athletic-honed physique, the tennis beauty paraded her incredible waist as the garment was brought in with a skinny belt.

The Russian born beauty, however, was reluctant to leave her tennis trainers at home when she stepped out in the sports shoes.

Adding a touch of elegance which was uncharacteristic for the star, Maria tucked her golden locks behind her ears to best showcase her dazzling dangling disc earrings.

The Emirates Formula One Grand Prix will take place in the country on Sunday.

It has been six months since the Olympic medalist returned to tennis after a 15-month doping ban.

She was banned from competing after being found with meldonium in her system at the 2016 Australian Open.

Maria was suspended from the sport in March while officials carried out an investigation and received her formal ban in June.

Officials initially banned her for two years but the punishment was reduced to 15 months after the Court of Arbitration for Sport recognized that her doping was unintentional.

The award-winning beauty is still trying to move back up the rankings from her current position.

In October, she was beaten by Magdalena Rybarikova 7-6 (3), 6-4 in the first round of the Kremlin Cup which ended her bid for a second title in two weeks.

Maria, who won the Tianjin Open two days ago, brought her usual power but lacked accuracy with some wild swings on key points.

'I felt fine physically, to be honest, especially after having played five matches in five days (in Tianjin). That was a big surprise,' she said at the time.

'Maybe I wasn't as prepared as I should have been... Maybe if this tournament hadn't been in Moscow, I wouldn't have played it.'
