After winning her 29th WTA women’s singles title, Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova stopped for a day in Moscow to promote her eponymous candy brand “Sugarpova”.

The tennis player currently living in Florida (USA) said that although she is involved in many business projects, tennis is still her main interest.
“Tennis is the most important thing to me right now,” the world No. 2 tennis player told the press outside a shopping center in Moscow, where each package of “Sugarpova” candy is sold for 175 rubles (5 .66 USD).
Sharapova also revealed that she is planning to compete at the 2016 Olympics, taking place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. “The London Olympics was a good experience for me. I had the opportunity to carry the Russian flag at the opening ceremony and won a silver medal. But I want more than that, I hope to get a gold medal in 2016,” said the soon-to-be 26-year-old tennis player.
