Sharapova to play singles in Warsaw next week

NEW YORK (AP) -Maria Sharapova says she will be back on tour next week.

Sharapova writes on her Web site that she plans to play her first competitive singles match in nearly 10 months at next week's clay-court tournament in Warsaw, Poland.

The three-time Grand Slam title winner was sidelined in August by a torn rotator cuff in her right shoulder and had surgery two months later.


She has played one doubles match since then, losing in March at Indian Wells, California.
