No confirmation yet, but it doesn't look good for Sharapova right now

Maria Sharapova, who withdrew from the Australian Open because, she said, she had not done enough post-rehab training, has allegedly withdrawn from both the Open GDF Suez and the Barclays Dubai Tennis Championships. I don't generally post unconfirmed material, but I have reason to believe this is fact.

If Sharapova has indeed withdrawn from these tournaments, then the "not enough training" explanation doesn't quite add up.
