Sharapova comeback set for Warsaw

PARIS: Maria Sharapova has announced her return to singles action after an eight-month injury layoff in the Warsaw WTA tournament starting on May 18.

The former world No.1 and highest money-earner in women's sport has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since last summer missing last year's Wimbledon and US Opens as well as this year's Australian Open.

She has repeatedly postponed her comeback over the past few weeks but did play one losing game in the doubles tournament at Indian Wells in March.
