After Australian Open, Its Paris Open : Maria Sharapova Pulls Out

Maria SharapovaFormer world number one Maria Sharapova has pulled out of next week's Paris Open after failing to fully recover from a shoulder injury, organisers said on Wednesday.

"I confirm she will not be there, she will not be taking part in the Dubai tournament the following week," a tournament spokeswoman said.

The 21-year-old Russian has been sidelined since August and was not able to defend her Australian Open title last month, dropping to 17th in the WTA rankings released on Monday.
