SuggestedLeadIn: On Wednesday, 26 August, SNTV spoke with world number three Maria Sharapova ahead of the final Grand Slam event of the year, the US Open.
Script: "Yeah, I had to withdraw from a couple of tournaments leading into the (US) Open but, of course, it's not the most ideal preparation but as an athlete I've, I'm experienced enough to know that with a big tournament like this just to be healthy is extremely important and those were the choices that I had to make so I'm gearing up for, for the Open and looking forward to starting next week."
"Yeah, I mean, look, she's had an incredible year. I think her consistency has spoken for her self and I think she's created something really special here at the Open and I think it's everyone's job to try to play the best that they can out there and, of course, try to stop her."
"This was the second major that I won at the US Open and I think it just solidified I feel my presence on the tour because when you win one Grand Slam when I was a young teenage girl it just, I felt like at that point when I won the Open that I was really ready to be at the top of the game whereas the first one just came so unexpectedly and I didn't even know what to think of it."
