Women's tennis star Maria Sharapova has withdrawn from the next two events while continuing her recovery from shoulder surgery, the Sport Express reported.
The former world No. 1 has withdrawn from the Open Gaz de France in Paris and the Dubai (United Arab Emirates) Tennis Championships.
"I am just not near the level I need to be to compete at the highest levels," she said before deciding last month that she would not defend her 2008 title at the Australian Open.
The 23-year-old native of Nyagan, Russia, has not played since August and has fallen to No. 17 in the latest world rankings.
She has won three Grand Slam tournaments and earned more than $12 million since turning pro in April 2001.
Among the events she missed in 2008 due to injury were the Beijing Olympics and the U.S. Open.
