SINGAPORE: Maria Sharapova has pulled out of the Beijing Olympics because of a shoulder injury, her official website said, depriving the Games of one of its biggest stars.
The Russian withdrew from the WTA Rogers Cup in Montreal after a marathon second-round win over Marta Domachowska, and a scan revealed two small tears in her right shoulder.
"I'm currently packing up real quick to hop on a plane to New York for a second opinion but I wanted to let you all know first that there is no chance of me competing in Beijing," she said on the website.
