Tough luck for Maria Sharapova that will be unable to compete at the upcoming Miami Open because injured.
The Russian Beauty is not enjoying a great run after she came back from her ban for doping. Maria has won “just” 1 event in Tianjin in 2017, and she is still ranked only no.41.
Maria has a grim 5-4 win-loss record in 2018, and after losing in the first round in Indian Wells, she decided to part ways with her coach Sven Groeneveld after 4 years.
The statement
Maria released the following statement
“I am really sorry that I have to withdraw from one of my favorite tournaments with my left forearm injury. I am doing everything possible to return to the tour as soon as possible.”
From the organization
James Blake, the tournament director, commented
“We were looking forward to seeing her play Wednesday, but unfortunately injuries are part of the game. We hope she recovers quickly and is back on the court soon.”
The Miami Open will commence the 19th of March and the defending champion is Jo Konta.
