maria sharapova gallery and photosMaria Sharapova is out in the second round of Wimbledon for the second straight year.
The former champ was ousted by Argentinian Gisela Dulko.
Sharapova came into Wimbledon with an 11-3 match record but having missed the last two out of three slams due to injury. Still, she was the odds on favorite. Which leads us to the question, is the injury holding her back or is this an anomaly that looks bad because it’s twice in two years at a place where she’s won before and we haven’t seen much of her on the big stage lately?
The feeble Maria Sharapova, who is just about to drop from #9 to #10 in the world rankings (and who has protection from being booted out of the top 10 entirely only because #11 is her even more pathetic countrywoman Nadia Petrova) has announced she will not play the first grand slam tournament of the year, in Australia. She attempted to blame her withdrawal on a nagging shoulder injury, then admitted in fact it’s just plain cowardice: “My shoulder is doing great, but I just started training a few weeks ago and I am just not near the level I need to be to compete at the highest levels.” In other words: “I might struggle so I’m going to hide instead.”
Shamapova also skipped the final grand slam event of 2008, in New York, after being ousted in the second round at Wimbledon in easy straight sets by a player not ranked in the world’s top 150 and being whipped in the quarterfinals in Paris. Both ejections came at the hands of fellow Russians (if that term can be used in regard to a person who spends all her time in the USA).
Shamapova hasn’t played in a tournament in over five months, and hasn’t won a tournament since she took the lowly tier II event at Amelia Island in April 2008 by beating a player not ranked in the world’s top 30 in the finals. She hasn’t had a match victory against a top-ten opponent since she beat world #8 Daniela Hantuchova in March 2008. She hasn’t beaten a top five player since doing so to win the Australian Open a full year ago.
Luckily, Shamapova has her natural class, grace and elegance to fall back on as her athletic career goes the way of the Russian ruble.
