Maria Sharapova has pulled out of next week's Rogers Cup with an injured right leg.

The WTA announced her withdrawal from the U.S. Open hard-court tuneup tournament on Friday.

Sharapova, a five-time major champion, has not competed since losing to Serena Williams in the semifinals at Wimbledon last month.
