Maria Sharapova wants to change her name to Sugarpova for the final grand slam of the year, the US Open.
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
