The tournament will already be in progress when the five-time Grand Slam champion Sharapova's suspension ends on April 26, and she'll play the game that day.
"I think it's very questionable, which allows - anyone - still banned player to play the race for the week," said Wozniacki. "I think it's disrespectful to the other players and the WTA."
Wozniacki said she did not have a problem with Sharapova, whose ban for positive test for meldonium reduced Arbitration Court for Sport, returning to the game.
But he said Russian star, whose world ranking has been wiped away, we have to play her way back tournaments.
"I think everyone deserves a second chance, and I think she's going to come back and she's going to fight back," Wozniacki said.
"I'm sure she's going to play well. But at the same time, I feel like when a player is banned drugs, I think that one should start from the bottom and fight their way back, because it's different injury time someone because they hurt themselves.
"If a person is banned drugs and performance, I think that you deserve a second chance like everybody else, people make mistakes. But I think we need to fight your way back from the bottom."
Wozaniacki said after his third-round berth in the Indian Wells hard court tournament with a 6-3, 6-0 victory over Poland's Magda Nett.
