Cutie pie, Maria Sharapova is out of the 2008 Internazionali d’Italia tennis tournament being played in Rome, Italy due to an injury.
Maria had made it to the semifinals with wins over Dominika Cibulkova, Caroline Wozniacki, and Patty Schnyder. She was scheduled to play Jelena Jankovic today, but pulled out of the match with a left calf strain.
That’s the bad news. The good news is, she doesn’t think the injury will affect her preparations for the French Open which begins next weekend. The injury is described as a strain. They will test it again after three days off.
