Sharapova withdraws from exibition

Maria Sharapova has withdrawn from the exibition at Hong Kong, which is just weeks before the Australian Open that she has to defend.

The three-time Grand Slam champion withdrawed from the exibition because her shoulder was not in proper form yet.

"I'm just not ready to play against the top-class competition in Hong Kong, although I remain hopeful for Australia where I'm the defending champion," Sharapova said in a statement.

"Maria just needs to get 'tennis fit' now and she's working hard," Sharapova's agent, Max Eisenbud, said.
