World No. 5 Maria Sharapova has been scheduled to play her first 2011 Bank of the West Classic match on Wednesday evening, July 27 at 7 pm.

Her potential opponents will not be known until the 2011 main draw is announced at the Stanford Shopping Center on Friday, July 22.

Fan favorite Sharapova will be arriving in Palo Alto with the same impressive form that has won her three Grand Slam titles and 23 WTA singles titles overall. She has already won one WTA title earlier this year in Rome and reached the finals of both the Sony Ericsson Open in Miami and the Championships at Wimbledon. She also advanced to the French Open semi-finals in May.

The 2011 Bank of the West Classic will be held from July 25th – 31st. Tickets can be purchased by calling the box office at 866-WTA-TIXS (866-982-8497) or by logging on to www.BankoftheWestClassic.com. Single-session tickets for the tournament’s opening round start at just $26.

The former World No. 1 will be returning to the Bank of the West Classic after reaching the finals of the tournament last year.

In addition to Sharapova, two of the three other 2011 Wimbledon semi-finalists will be highlighting the 2011 Bank of the West Classic player field including World No. 4 Victoria Azarenka and rising German star Sabine Lisicki.

Additional highlights of the Bank of the West Classic player field will be 13-time Grand Slam Champion Serena Williams, 2011 French Open semi-finalist Marion Bartoli, former World No. 1 Ana Ivanovic, and World No. 10 Samantha Stosur.

In addition to single-session tickets, fans can also purchase Daily Double passes to attend both the day and evening sessions for as little as $45. Attendees may also pre-purchase parking passes for the event for just $10.

Full-week packages start at just $575 and include tickets to all 13 sessions, a pass to the exclusive Plaza Club and an invitation to the Meet the Players Party. Those who purchase a pair of seats will also receive a weeklong VIP parking pass and a Bank of the West Classic Tournament program.
