Tennis player Maria Sharapova due to left forearm injury had to withdraw from next week's WTA tournament in Cincinnati.
"I arrived in Cincinnati yesterday eager to play. However, following the doctor's advice on-site, as a precaution for the US Open, I am unfortunately withdrawing from the tournament with the left forearm injury I sustained in Stanford," Sharapova said.
"I want to thank the tournament for the wildcard opportunity and really look forward to competing here next year," she added.
