No surprise really, but I think this deserves a separate thread...

EXCLUSIVE NEXT week's Australian Open has been rocked by the withdrawal of defending champion Maria Sharapova.
Sharapova's management contacted Melbourne Park officials today with news her right shoulder injury had not fully recovered.

Australian Open tournament director Craig Tiley confirmed Sharapova's battle for fitness had been lost.

"I'm obviously disappointed for Maria because she's extremely disappointed," Tiley said.

"We've been in constant contact with Maria and she's decided to withdraw because she's not ready in her rehabilitation process.

I am not a huge Maria Sharapova fan. I love the Williams sisters. However this is mroe than it seems. A shoulder injury just won't go away ask Jennifer Capriati. Thats why Capriati hasn't come back. Maria's shoulder will never be 100% again. Once you hve damaged your shoulder and had surgey you are always going to be prone to injury.

Maria's forehand swing stands out to me because that twist backward thing she does will kill her shoulder when she comes back. I think that Maria should follow what the Williamses have done, when she comes back to the tour. Which is to only play key events. I hope Maria recovers but it won't be easy at all.
