Sharapova pulls out of tournament

MARIA Sharapova has withdrawn from next week's Bank of the West Classic at Stanford because of a left hip injury suffered during Wimbledon last month.

Tournament director Kim Hall said in a statement on Monday that organizers "are disappointed for our fans." She added that "unfortunately injuries are a part of the sport." The second-ranked Sharapova lost 3-6, 4-6 to Michelle Larcher de Brito in the second round of Wimbledon. Sharapova tumbled several times during the match. She later said she thought she strained a hip muscle. Sharapova announced on her website on Saturday that she had hired Jimmy Connors as her new coach.
