Former world No. 1 Maria Sharapova hasn't competed in any tennis tournaments since late January.
PARIS — Two-time French Open champion Maria Sharapova has pulled out of the year’s second Grand Slam tournament because of her injured right shoulder.She wrote: "Sometimes the right decisions aren’t always the easiest ones."
Sharapova said she has returned to practice and is "slowly building the strength back" in her shoulder. The former No. 1 and owner of five major titles hasn’t competed anywhere since late January, when she withdrew from a tournament in Russia after winning her opening match there. In February, she said she had a "small procedure" on her shoulder, which was painful since last year because of a fraying tendon and small labrum tear.
