Maria Sharapova plans to change her surname to 'Sugarpova' for the duration of the upcoming US Open.

Former world number one Sharapova, the current richest female athlete in the world, has lodged an enquiry with the Supreme Court of Florida over a 'quickie' name change, which would then be changed back after the tournament concludes.

Sharapova is planning the name change to try to advertise her range of sweets.

Fucking fuck off.

Britain's Dan Evans (ranked 179) looks like he's going through in straight sets at the US Open against world no 12 Kei Nishikori.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He's done it! 6-4 6-4 6-2. Outstanding performance.

 

[lemonjelly]

Quality result for him there! He's had a decent season this year.
Midlands lad too.

Andy Murray begins his defence of his US Open title at midnight UK time tonight against Frenchman Michael Llodra.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Evans keeps going....beats Tomic 1-6, 6-3, 7-6, 6-3. Another genuine top level player beaten, amazing stuff.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That is another super result for him. Tommy Robredo may be a tough challenge next, but if Evans plays to the same standard he has a chance.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Some guy called Federer awaits in round four if he does it...

If nothing else this should bump his ranking up towards breaking into the top 100.

 

[Sniffer]

A sweet victory for Evans after last year when the father of Tomic deemed Evans as being not good enough to practice with him.

 

[darlowolf64]

Robson two breaks and 5-2 down in the first set against Li Na...Not playing very well upto now

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Laura Robson loses the first test. A tough battle for her now.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Currently 5-5 in second set, and Laura was 3-1 up.

 

[Lord Knows]

Switch over now............. Murray has taken the first set 7-5 over Mayer in New York.

 

[PuntsWolf]

How is the scheduling so fucked up that Murray is playing a second round match on a Friday night?
