Maria retires from Birmingham

Maria Sharapova has withdrawn from the Aegon Classic grass-court tournament in Birmingham, traditionally her only warm-up event before Wimbledon.

The 24-year-old Russian, who lost in the semifinals of the French Open, said Friday she would be unable to play because of illness.

Sharapova has played in Birmingham seven times, winning the title twice and reaching the final on two other occasions.
