Caroline Wozniacki has described the decision to schedule Maria Sharapova's US Open matches on the main stadium court as "questionable".

Sharapova, in her first Grand Slam event since returning from a 15-month doping ban, has played both her matches so far on the Arthur Ashe Stadium.

Wozniacki said that putting the Russian wildcard on the main court following her ban "doesn't set a good example".

The Danish fifth seed lost to Ekaterina Makarova on court 17 late on Wednesday.

Wozniacki's match was originally scheduled last on court five, but was eventually moved to 17 as organisers got through 87 singles matches following Tuesday's rain.

"I think putting out a schedule where the number five in the world is on court five, fifth match on, I feel at 11pm, I think that's unacceptable," Wozniacki told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet.

"When you look on centre court [Ashe], I understand completely the business side of things and everything, but someone who comes back from a drugs sentence and, you know, performance-enhancing drugs, and all of a sudden gets to play every single match on centre court, I believe is a questionable thing to do.”

Sharapova, 30, was given a wildcard into the main draw, because she is ranked 146th as she makes her way back following the ban.
