'Injured' Sharapova pulls out of Rogers Cup

World number two Maria Sharapova has pulled out of the upcoming Rogers Cup citing leg injury.

Confirming the news, tournament organizers said that the 28-year-old Russian withdrew due to a right leg strain, the Dawn reported.

The 28-year-old tennis player has not played any match since her Wimbledon semi-final defeat against world number one Serena Williams last month.

The Rogers Cup is scheduled to begin from August 10 in Toronto.
