  • Maria Sharapova Withdraws from US Open

    Maria Sharapova Withdraws from US Open

    Maria Sharapova, the No. 3 ranked women’s tennis player in the world, has withdrawn from the US Open, citing bursitis in her left shoulder.

    David Brewer, U.S. Open tournament director, said in a statement:  “Maria has informed us that she will be unable to compete at the U.S. Open this year due to a right shoulder bursitis and has withdrawn from the tournament.  We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to her return to New York next year.”

  • Sharapova and Connors Part Ways

    Sharapova and Connors Part Ways

    Maria Sharapova’s short-lived coaching flirtation with Jimmy Connors has come to an abrupt end.

    After only a single match and a small number of practice sessions, Sharapova made the call to advise Connors his services were no longer required.

    The only match for which they were together saw the Russian world number 3 beaten by Sloane Stephens in the second round of the Cincinnati Masters.

    Connors, a former world number one and 8-time major winner, had previously coached Andy Roddick in a part-time role.

  • Wipeout Wednesday at Wimbledon

    Wipeout Wednesday at Wimbledon

    Wipeout Wednesday

    The face of the Wimbledon Championships was altered dramatically on Wednesday, with the shock early exits of seven time winner and defending champion Roger Federer, former ladies champion Maria Sharapova, and the 2002 winner Lleyton Hewitt. All three were surprised by lower ranked opponents in the second round. Federer’s defeat to unheralded Sergiy Stakhovsky is being hailed by some as the biggest upset in Wimbledon history.

    The surprise defeats were exacerbated by a wave of withdrawals from other top players citing injuries. The surprise conquerer of Rafael Nadal, Steve Darcis, withdrew with an injured shoulder, shortly followed by sixth seeded frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, and third ranked women’s seed Victoria Azarenka. Another seed Marin Cilic and John Isner retired with knee injuries, and a left hamstring problem ended Radek Stepanek’s campaign. Yaroslava Shvedova rounded off the list.

    It was the worst day for injury withdrawals in tournament history. Some players, including Azarenka, have complained of slippiness underfoot and the poor condition of the court.

    A day of upsets and surprises was capped at the end by the biggest stunner, not just of the day, but amongst any in the history of Grand Slam Tennis.  Roger Federer lost to Sergei Stakhovsky, an unsung, 116th-ranked Ukrainian.  The loss hands the 7 time- and defending-champion his earliest loss at Wimbledon since a 1st-round loss in 2002; his earliest loss in any Major since losing in the 1st round at Roland Garros in 2003; and snaps his unprecedented streak of reaching the quarterfinals or better in 36 consecutive Grand Slam events.  It was Stakhovsky’s first win over a Top 10 player, making the feat all the more remarkable.

    When Rafael Nadal went out in the first round on Monday, the tennis world was shaken.  Today, it is reeling.

    Earlier in the day, Maria Sharapova was ousted by Michelle Larcher De Brito of Portugal, currently ranked #131. Sharapova is a former champion here, holder of the career Slam, and former world #1, while the Portuguese woman is so unknown that even Chris Evert admitted to having to look her up.

    Other upsets included Ana Ivanovic, who lost to Eugenie Bouchard (#66) of Canada in straight sets; Caroline Wozniacki, who rolled her ankle on the slippery grass and went down to Petra Cetkovska (#196); Jelena Jankovic, who lost to countrywoman Vesna Dolonc, #98; and, arguably, Lleyton Hewitt, a former champion who was mounting a mini-comeback after injury, to German Dustin Brown, ranked #189.

    Additionally, the tournament saw 7 withdrawals today, some directly due to injuries suffered here:

    Withdrawals:

    Victoria Azarenka, due to a knee injury suffered in her match on Monday.

    Marin Cilic, also citing knees.

    Steve Darcis, giant-killer of Nadal on Monday, citing a shoulder injury sustained in that match.

    Yaraslava Shvedova, with no reason given.

    Retirements:

    Jo-Wilfred Tsonga, who suffered a knee injury during his match today against Ernests Gulbis.

    John Isner, after two games, due to knee injury.

    Radek Stepanek, due to an on-going thigh injury.

    [divider]

    When the day began, 7 former world #1 players would take the court:  Federer, Hewitt, Sharapova, Azarenka, Wozniacki, Ivanovic, and Jankovic.  When it ended, they were all finished for the tournament.

    When the day began, 6 holders of Major titles walked onto the court:  Federer, Hewitt, Murray, Sharapova, Azarenka, and Ivanovic.  When it ended, Andy Murray was the only one still standing.
