Maria misses Dubai event

Russia's Maria Sharapova has pulled out of the $US1.5 million ($A1.62 million) Dubai Championships citing a viral illness.

The Australian Open champion, who also won in Doha last week, is unbeaten in 2008 and had been scheduled 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," the world number five said in a statement.

"This is really disappointing to me, but I do intend to come back to Dubai next year and hopefully have a great tournament."

I am frustrated that Maria missed Dubai this year, but five tournaments in a row at Qatar was a lot and she is playing so very well now. Would love to see her healthy and back in action soon.

A true fighter and champion knows his/her limitations. If she said she can't complete, everybody should respect that. It's better than face a humiliating 1st Round defeat on a tournament.... God is with you Maria!
