On the eve of the draw for the year&#39;s final Grand Slam event that begins Monday on the Flushing Meadows hardcourts, US Open tournament director David Brewer announced the withdrawal. <img alt="Maria Sharapova" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/aug/sharapova22aug.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 503px;" /> Maria Sharapova. Pic/ AFP &quot;Maria has informed us that she will be unable to compete at the US Open this year due to a right shoulder bursitis and has withdrawn from the tournament,&quot; he said. &quot;We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to her return to New York next year.&quot; As a result, Poland&#39;s Agnieszka Radwanska moves into the third seed in the women&#39;s singles draw and other seeds will move up one place, with Russia&#39;s Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova advancing into the 32nd spot. Sharapova&#39;s only match since a second-round defeat at Wimbledon in late June was a loss in her opening match in last week&#39;s WTA event at Cincinnati to American Sloane Stephens. That was followed by a split with Jimmy Connors, who had been her coach for less than three weeks. Sharapova had been nursing a hip injury after Wimbledon.
