Tennis, Us Open: Sharapova wants to promote her candy and asked to be called Sugarpova

If, looking at the women's scoreboard of the next US Open, you will find the name of a certain Sugarpova, know that it is not a joke, so much so that the authoritative Times is reporting the news: in view of the imminent tennis Slam, the Russian Maria Sharapova would in fact like to promote his new candy brand and to do so he would even ask the New York Supreme Court to change his surname to "Sugarpova" for the entire duration of the tournament (August 26-September 9).

The current number 3 in the world (but already number 1), who has always been a sexy icon and much more than a simple (albeit very strong) tennis player, therefore never ceases to amaze, and is no longer satisfied with adding business after business: "If if I only had tennis in mind, I'd probably be depressed,” the 1,88-metre-tall Siberian blonde and all four Grand Slams has said several times.

Now "Masha" goes further, even thinking about the change of identity, which however should not be authorized by the organizers of Flushing Meadows in order not to create confusion, but which is already operational at least on Twitter, where the official account of the female athlete second richest in the world Forbes it's now @sugarpova, just from the name of the candies launched on the market a year ago.

Waiting to see the results on the field, after a period of dullness that saw the ice-eyed champion dismiss the new coach Jimmy Connors after just one match (the defeat in the first round in Cincinnati), Maria Sharapova, or Sugarpova whatever you prefer, she confirms herself as a business woman who would be the envy of many world top managers. According to Forbes, her assets are close to $30 million.
