Maria Sharapova had to endure some more misery in Stanford.

The Russian beauty was eager to come back to competitions after she took a prolonged break after Rome when she struggled with a left thigh injury.  Unfortunately, Maria wasn’t able to compete in the second round in Stanford against Tsurenko because of a problem with her left arm.

The Statement from Maria

Sharapova released the following statement

“Unfortunately, I have to withdraw from today’s match.

Toward the end of Monday night’s match, I felt pain in my left forearm. After yesterday’s scan, the doctor has recommended I don’t risk further injury. Monday night’s crowd was so special, and I wish I could continue playing, but I have to make a preventative decision.”

Sharapova is currently ranked no.171. Let’s see if she can be fit for the US Open.
