Shoulder pain forces out Sharapova at St Petersburg
Print Edition
Maria Sharapova’s ongoing right shoulder problems led her to pull out of the Saint Petersburg tournament, organizers said yesterday.
The 31-year-old has been struggling back to elite fitness since watching from the sidelines during a 15-month doping ban that ended in 2017. The five-time major winner beat Daria Gavrilova of Australia 6-0, 6-4 in her tournament debut. “I have worked hard for months to put it (her shoulder) in order, but to no avail,” she said after her match with Gavrilova. “I still have plenty of work to do.” Sharapova’s withdrawal opened the way into the last eight for third-seeded Daria Kasatkina, who enjoyed a first-round bye. The former world No. 1 Sharapova failed to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals earlier in January.
