Maria Sharapova falls ill, pulls out of Dubai Tennis Tournament


Russian beauty Maria Sharapova has pulled out of this week's WTA Dubai Championships citing a viral illness.

The 20 year old, 2008 Australian Open Champion, won the Qatar Open crown on Sunday and is unbeaten so far in 2008.

The world number 5 had been due to play her first match in Dubai on centre court in Tuesday's evening session. "Unfortunately I have been battling a virus for several days and it's reached a point where I'm unable to compete," said Maria Sharapova.
