World No.3 Sharapova met with Dr. David Altchek, the premier shoulder doctor in the world, who examined all her tests from April and discovered a moderate tear in her rotator cuff tendon. The doctor couldn’t believe she was playing that long with her injury.

"You can imagine that I was not very thrilled to hear that my medical team did not see this tear in my shoulder back in April," said the 21-year-old on her website.

It's a shame, even when you have as much money as Sharapova you receive false diagnosis.
