Halep can replace Sharapova as the world number two this week, which would be a timely rise given that the second-ranked player in the world next week could only face Williams in the final of the US Open.
It’s unclear where the photo Sharapova shared was taken, but one of her follows suggested the scene appeared to be in Indian Hill.
The Russian will return to action at the Western Southern Open – an event she won in 2011 – in Cincinnati this week as part of her preparations for the US Open, and believes her recuperation from a tough run in Europe will prove an advantage in the coming months. Sharapova continues to battle through a right upper leg injury sustained in training that also forced her out of last week’s Rogers Cup.
The only thing we want in life is to touch the hem of Serena Williams’ garment – and the garment in question is the mesmerizing leotard she’s wearing on the cover of New York magazine.
“In the past, virtual reality has been more of a passive experience, with people usually just watching”, Curtis said. “I’ve been practicing here the last few days and I’m looking at the US Open in 11, 12 days”, Sharapova said in her press conference.
While two stars withdrew, many did play.
The top eight seeds in both fields get first-round byes.

“Honestly, going to the amusement park, but I didn’t make it last year and I don’t think I’ll make it this year, but that’s one of my most fun times I have here”, said Williams. “I think it’s really cool, and there’s definitely a lot of pressure on there”. Sloane Stephens advanced over Carla Suarez Navarro and even Eugenie Bouchard was victorious, picking up her first win of the summer over qualifier Kateryna Bondarenko 7-6, 7-6. In the evening, Caroline Wozniacki battles Azarenka. I’m never good at that, but I do try.
