Ivanovic Wins, Sharapova Injured In Canada
MONTREAL - World number one Ana Ivanovic battled her way into the third round of the Montreal Cup to keep her nose in front in the fight for the top ranking on Wednesday.
Number three Maria Sharapova, however, will take no further part after withdrawing from the tournament with a shoulder injury following her win over Poland's Marta Domachowska.
Playing her first event since a shock third-round exit at Wimbledon, Ivanovic arrived with her top ranking under serious threat from fellow Serb Jelena Jankovic and Sharapova.
Ivanovic opened her hardcourt campaign with a labored 6-3 4-6 6-3 win over Czech teenager Petra Kvitova while Jankovic, who had a chance to nudge her Davis Cup team mate out of the top spot last week in Los Angeles, dispatched local hope Aleksandra Wozniak 6-0 6-4 to reach the last 16.
Sharapova, also back in action for the first time since Wimbledon, had a less than impressive hardcourt debut, serving up 17 double faults in a three-hour 7-5 5-7 6-2 win over Domachowska.
The Russian twice required treatment on a right shoulder that has bothered her throughout the year, and said after the match she was withdrawing.
"Bad news, because I'm withdrawing," Sharapova told reporters. "It was pretty obvious out there. Coming into this tournament, I wasn't quite sure if I was going to be able to compete. Tomorrow I will go for an MRI.
"It's tough to go on court and not be close to even 50 percent. I'm too good of a player to go out there and try to fight through something that I think can eventually become something serious."
