 Maria Sharapova has dropped out of the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati because of a stomach virus. She also dropped out of the Rogers Cup in Montreal this week.
Sharapova was the defending champion in the Cincinnati tournament, which opens this weekend. She is the second high-ranked player to drop out in two days. Rafael Nadal withdrew Thursday because of problems with his left knee, which also forced him to miss the Olympics and the Rogers Cup. Sharapova won the silver medal in London, losing to Serena Williams. She plans to play in the United States Open.
