Sweet Maria ! Former world No 1 plans name change to Sugarpova for US Open charge !!
Maria Sharapova wants to change her name to
Sugarpova for the final grand slam of the year.
The former world No 1, who is the richest female athlete in the world, has asked Florida's Supreme Court
to push through her request on the understanding her name will revert back after the tournament.
The 26-year-old spent more than £300,000 setting up
Sugarpova, a brand featuring
brightly coloured sweets with such flavours as Smitten Sour, Quirky and Sporty.
According to The Times,
Sharapova's outfit for the tournament, held at Flushing Meadows
from August 26 to September 9, will carry the logo of her company, a pair of red lips.
It is estimated that almost 2 million bags of the sweets were sold last year,
topping up Sharapova's yearly earnings to £15million.
The Russian may still need the permission of the grand slam committee
but if that is granted, she could be introduced and addressed as
Miss Sugarpova.
Scores would also be read out in favour of her new moniker.
