Maria Sharapova to launch Sugarpova today

World number two Maria Sharapova is already in New York, prepping up for the final Grand Slam event of the year – the 2012 US Open. Aside from this, the Russian tennis star is at the Big Apple for the launch of her new line of premium gummy candies branded as Sugarpova.

The 25-year old has been posting regularly on her official Facebook page about the updates of the launch and she’s definitely excited with the new venture. Her latest post:

One more day until my candy is official! In the meantime I took my team to the brand new IT’SUGAR store that opened a few days ago on Broadway, to be my first loyal Sugarpova customers (I didn’t give them much choice but to be Sugarpova customers)…I also ended up buying a pack for myself. My candy will be sold at all their stores worldwide, as well as on their website www.itsugar.com and at www.sugarpova.com.

If you are not around for the Henri Bendel launch tomorrow at 11am EST, don’t forget to watch it live from your computer at http://new.livestream.com/Sharapova/sugarpova and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to post here as I will be answering a few as well during the event. Can’t wait to see everyone!

There you have it, if you want to watch the launch through live online video streaming, you can access the site provided by the Russian star.

Sharapova is having a memorable 2012 season, winning the French Open for the first time to complete the rare Career Grand Slam, securing additional endorsement deals such as being an endorser of the popular Samsung S3 phones and also having her wedding scheduled on November 10, 2012 in Istanbul, Turkey to Anadolu Efes Basketball Club star Sasha Vujacic.
