Мария не сыграет в Торонто

Несколько минут назад было опубликовано подтверждение что Мария снялась.

(July, 28, 2013) Tennis Canada announced that No. 2 Maria Sharapova has withdrawn from Rogers Cup in Toronto due to a hip injury suffered at Wimbledon.

“I’m extremely disappointed that I am unable to play in Toronto next week as it’s one of the best and most important tournaments of the year,” said Sharapova through a press release. “I was looking forward to making a healthy return to the courts in front of my Canadian fans but unfortunately I’m just not recovered yet.”

Sharapova, four-time major champion and 2009 Rogers Cup finalist, has not played since a second round loss to Michelle Larcher de Brito at Wimbledon.

Однако Мария будет в Торонто в четверг. Будет встречать болельщиков. И конечно наверно откроет официально продажу SUGARPOVA.

Официальная причина снятия Марии - травма бедра  hip injury

К сожалению мое предчувствие что что-то плохое случилось оказалось верное. Когда Мария перестала выставлять тренировочные фото столь резко, я понял что-то не так.

Пока никто не знает истинную причину снятия. Может быть поссорились с Джимми или работа не пошла как надо, или что-то с Григором, не знаю. Но не думаю что травма является причина. Мария использует ту же самую травму, которой получила на Уим и которой уже использовала в Стэнфорде.

Это означает что Мария получить НОЛЬ очков в рейтинге за неучастие в этом турнире и турнир в Торонто будет считаться один из ее 16 рейтинговых турниров до турнира в Монреале 2014.

SHARAPOVA WITHDRAWS FROM ROGERS CUP PRESENTED BY NATIONAL BANK

Hip injury to keep No. 2 player in the world out of action in Toronto

Toronto, July 28, 2013 - Tennis Canada announced today that world No. 2 Maria Sharapova has withdrawn from Rogers Cup presented by National Bank in Toronto due to a continued hip injury suffered at Wimbledon.

“I’m extremely disappointed that I am unable to play in Toronto next week as it’s one of the best and most important tournaments of the year,” said Sharapova. “I was looking forward to making a healthy return to the courts in front of my Canadian fans but unfortunately I’m just not recovered yet.”

Sharapova, a 2009 Rogers Cup finalist, has not played since a second-round loss to Michelle Larcher de Brito at Wimbledon at the end of June.

As a gesture to her Canadian fans who were excited to see her live at Rogers Cup, Sharapova has offered to fly two lucky winners to Los Angeles during the offseason for a private hit with her followed by lunch. She has donated her time for this money can’t buy experience to also benefit Tennis Canada’s “Let’s Make Tennis Matter for Kids” campaign as the prize will be auctioned off during Rogers Cup next week with all proceeds going to growing Kids Tennis participation across Canada.

"Maria is one of the fan favourites here in Toronto and we are certainly going to miss her at Rogers Cup this year," said Rogers Cup tournament director Karl Hale. “We are very appreciative of her generosity in donating her time for us to raise some money for Kids Tennis and we wish her a speedy recovery and successful return to the Tour as soon as possible.”

Sharapova will still travel to Toronto this week to make a fan appearance she’s committed to on Thursday evening at Loblaws at Maple Leaf Gardens.
