Moscow - Russian tennis icon Maria Sharapova, third seed for next week's US Open, has launched her own brand of sweets.

The 25-year-old, who won this year's French Open and was a silver medallist at the London Olympics, has called the line "Sugarpova" and includes sweets in the shape of a tennis ball.
