KEY BISCAYNE - Two-time Sony Ericsson Open runner-up Maria Sharapova, whose troublesome right shoulder bedeviled her tennis most of the 2007 season, pulled out of the Key Biscayne tournament Saturday after a recurrence of the pain.
Her agent, Max Eisenbud, said the injury is not serious but that Sharapova “is trying to learn her lesson from last year when she didn’t take care of the shoulder as soon as the problem happened.
“She’s going to take a week off and not play any tennis,” Eisenbud said. Sharapova is expected to be fit by the time the U.S. clay court season begins on April 7 and, though she is not signed in to either Amelia Island or Charleston, S.C., she might consider requesting wild cards into one or both tournaments.
