Sharapova will be seen next at AEGON Classic Tourney

Since Maria is out of the picture already from the French Open, she will be seen next at AEGON Classic, an International series tennis tournament on the WTA Tour held at the Edgbaston Priory Club in Edgbaston, Birmingham, United Kingdom. It will start on June 6-14, 2009, U.K. time of course. Held at this location since 1982, the tournament is played on outdoor grass courts. It is seen as a major warm up tournament for Wimbledon and a sister tournament to the men's Queen's Club Championships.

Maria has been a 2-time champion in this tournament and will be looking forward on her next win.

“I’m really excited about getting back on to the grass courts again and playing in the AEGON Classic,” said 22-year-old Sharapova.

“Birmingham is a really special tournament for me and I always get great support. I’ve won there twice before and I always feel very welcome - it’s excellent preparation for Wimbledon.”
