Maria Sharapova announced on her Web site Friday that she will not play again this season, ending speculation that she might come back for the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour Championships Nov. 4-9 in Doha, Qatar.

Sharapova has been sidelined with a torn rotator cuff that was discovered shortly after she lost in the second round at Wimbledon — her earliest exit from that tournament. She played one match in her next tournament, the Rogers Cup in Montreal, then withdrew because of the shoulder injury. Doctors determined she had sustained the tear in April.

Cole Haan, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NIKE, Inc., today announced Maria Sharapova as a lead collaborator and the face of Cole Haan Sporting, a new collection for Spring 2009, rooted in sport and remixed with fashion.

Cole Haan Sporting stakes out fresh territory with a new, dynamic pairing of Cole Haan's authentic craftsmanship and Nike's sports innovation. The collection introduces new technologies like Flywire which build on the successful Nike Air franchise by recasting them into fashion-forward designs.

As the final tournament of the summer, the US Open is known for its Grand Slam level of competition and focus on personal style of the stars both in the stands and on the court. The 2008 US Open will be missing one star with Maria Sharapova down due to a shoulder injury.  But while Maria is out, Maria's Day and Night Dresses are in, and ready for their Big Apple debut.

Maria Sharapova is busy this season, and although she won't be competing in the Olympics or U.S. Open due to an shoulder injury, she will be unveiling a few luxury gadgets at New York's South Street Seaport on August 20. Media Post says the tennis star will take the wraps off five diamond-studded Cannon PowerShot Elph cameras at an invitation-only event taking place at the Canon Center Court.
