MONTREAL -- Maria Sharapova will make her first appearance in Montreal since 2004 after the No. 2 seed declared she will play in this year's Rogers Cup.
"Other than the Rogers Cup, Sharapova will have only participated in four tournaments between the months of May and September, three Grand Slams and the Olympics," said tournament director Eugene Lapierre.
Sharapova has won 19 WTA titles over her career including three grand slam tournaments.
Serbia's Ana Ivanovic, the No. 1 seed, and American Venus Williams also confirmed they will play in the tournament.
Tennis Canada will release a complete list of players June 18. The tournament will start July 26 and go until Aug. 3.
