Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova says she's excited to be back on court and is looking forward to the chance to recapture the US Open crown, a title she won back in 2006.
Sharapova has gradually been regaining her form since returning from an eight-month shoulder injury lay-off and, at the recent Rogers' Cup, reached her first final since April, 2008.
"I'm just thrilled to be playing again. I missed the event last year. I was really disappointed, because I was missing that and the Olympics – it was a pretty, pretty tough season for me to be out, um, you know, it was in the midst of so many great tournaments that I could have been a part of, so to be here a year later and to be healthy and to be participating again in the tournament is wonderful," Maria Sharapova told AP news agency.
