British tennis star Laura Robson visited her friend at Sharapova’s first pop-up sweet store Sugarpova, which is open in Wimbledon Village until the tournament finishes on July 6. Maria Sharapova is expanding her candy business internationally and certainly taking it to a next level. Sharapova has recently opened a pop-up shop for Sugarpova at 89 High Street in Wimbledon just in time for the upcoming Grand Slam tournament. The shop will be opened only until July 6, according to reports. The Sugarpova pop-up shop will feature all the trademark flavours of Sharapova's sweets brand. Sharapova has made sure that customers will enjoy every minute of their stay in the pop-up shop because it also offers free internet access, a juice bar, and a photo booth. Sharapova and her team even had a little fun as they posed in the photo booth for some candid snapshots. The Sugarpova pop-up shop is reportedly the first candy lounge launched in Wimbledon Village. "Maria wanted to create the first ever candy lounge, where people can come to enjoy not only to relax, treat themselves, and share the fun on social media," London Pop Ups reported. Following her success in the 2014 French Open, Sharapova will compete next in Wimbledon. Sharapova told Sky Sports she wants to win another Wimbledon title. She said that winning the trophy in 2004 has marked her tennis career. She was only 17 years old then and she said she would love to do it again. The 27-year-old said that her passion for the sport has remained the same. She has not lost her desire to win more titles and play better tennis. Even though she had her ups and downs in her career, she was winning again. "I've been to a final again, I've been to a couple of semi-finals, but obviously the goal is to win again," said Sharapova. "I don't think that I've won it before because when you have the mentality that you've won it then it gets boring. You have to go out there for more."

She can serve a ball at more than 100mph, but on Thursday night tennis star Maria Sharapova was whisked to an exclusive pre-Wimbledon party in a £700,000 ‘green’ electric Porsche capable of twice the speed of her forehand smash. And in keeping with her speedy delivery, her suitably attired chauffeur for the night in the 214mph Porsche 918 Spyder was F1 and supercar racing champion Mark Webber. French Open winner Miss Sharapova was driven to the glamorous Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) pre-Wimbledon Party at the Kensington Roof Garden in West London in one of the fastest cars on the planet - which is also one of the least polluting. Miss Sharapova wore a button through white mini dress in crepe material with sheer sleeves and metallic red, gold and tan wrap around 5 inch strappy sandals – taking her 6ft 2 inch frame to 6 ft 7 inches. She also wore gold rivet stud earrings with minimal long gold chain. The plug-in hybrid supercar is the most powerful Porsche road-car ever built and is designed to equally at home on the road or the race-track. It can accelerate from rest to 60 mph in a scintillating 2.5 seconds – and up to 124mph in 7.2 seconds - and yet produces so little carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions that it is exempt from the London Congestion Charge. The two-seater supercar will even do 93mph in silent pollution-free electric-only power mode.

She just competed in the always challenging Wimbledon tennis tournament. And Maria Sharapova was sure to take a relaxing break with her boyfriend Grigor Dimitrov as the pair were pictured on vacation together in Mexico on Wednesday. The 27-year-old showcased her athletic physique as she and her tennis player partner enjoying a fun day in Los Cabos. Maria put her strong and slender frame on display in a grey bikini while she shielded her eyes from the sun rays with a pair of black shades. The blonde beauty left her hair naturally straight as she strolled around bare foot with her boyfriend. Grigor showed off his toned body as he sported a pair of patterned swim shorts. While the tennis ace failed to add another grand slam trophy to her impressive collection last week, she was able to laugh off the disappointment with her long-term beau. Grigor was clearly in a playful mood as he was seen putting up bunny ears with his fingers while Maria spoke to a member of staff. The pair were happy to lounge by the pool again on Thursday as Maria changed into a burgundy two-piece teamed with large khaki sunhat. She browsed on her iPad while Grigor soaked up the sun in green swimming trunks.

Leave it to Maria Sharapova to create the viral moment of the night at ESPN's ESPY Awards. Sharapova was paired with boxer Floyd Mayweather to present the award for Best Game and the 6 foot 2 inch Russian completely dwarfed the 5 foot 8 boxer, leading to this solid visual gag: The two were introduced by a British-accented Drake who introduced Sharapova with "And from tennis, or whatever, Maria Sharapova," leaving Sharapova to quip "Wow. Where was my introduction?" And with that, Drake's beef with tennis continues. Sharapova beat out Serena Williams, Li Na and Agnieszka Radwanska for the Best Female Tennis Player Award and was presented her trophy on the red carpet before the ceremony. Sharapova as best female tennis player? That's a reasonable assessment if the ESPY voters are only taking into account the 2014 season -- she is No. 1 in the Road to Singapore rankings -- but not if they're supposed to consider the last 12 months. Currently ranked No. 6, Sharapova didn't play the last three months of the 2013 season. Then again, this isn't a real award so to each their own. On the men's side, Rafael Nadal won the award for best tennis player, beating Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray. Among the women it was Maria Sharapova who took home the prestigious award, beating fellow nominees including Li Na, Agnieszka Radwanska and home favorite Serena Williams. Surprising the choice of the public to not award the trophy to Serena, World No.1 and multiple Slam winner, maybe in consideration of the last episodes that saw the American involved (check Serena crying on court at Wimbledon).
