Sharapova lost 6-1 6-1 to Serena Williams in her last match
|
World number two Maria Sharapova has pulled out of next week's Italian Open through injury, casting doubt on her place at this month's French Open.
The 20-year-old Russian has a shoulder injury and has not played since losing to Serena Williams in Miami in March.
"My body is slowly getting better but in no way will I be ready to play in Rome," she told her website.
"I just want my fans to know that I am doing everything possible to be ready to play at the French Open."
The French Open gets under way on 27 May.
