Sharapova’s long-undiagnosed injury, which dates back to 2006, is finally being treated well, but the world number six has already missed two major events this season, the Beijing Olympics and the US Open, rehabilitating the shoulder. She hasn't been on court since she retired from the Rogers Cup after her second-round victory over Marta Domachowska.
