Sharapova out of US Open

Russian world number three Maria Sharapova has pulled out of the US Open because of a right shoulder injury, tournament organisers announced Wednesday.
On the eve of the draw for the year's final Grand Slam event that begins Monday on the Flushing Meadows hardcourts, US Open tournament director David Brewer announced the withdrawal.
"Maria has informed us that she will be unable to compete at the US Open this year due to a right shoulder bursitis and has withdrawn from the tournament," he said.
