NEW YORK — Maria Sharapova was bounced out of the fourth round of the US Open on Sunday — and all her haters will surely be pleased.
Playing in her first Grand Slam tournament following a 15-month doping ban, Sharapova lost to No. 16 Anastasija Sevastova, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, in 2 hours, 17 minutes.
“It’s been a really great ride in the last week,” Sharapova said. “Obviously coming off a loss, you know, it’s a quick turnaround in order to reflect all the positives that happened in the last eight or nine days.
“But ultimately I can take a lot from this week. It’s great to get that major out of the way. It was an incredible opportunity. I’m very thankful for the opportunity. I did my best. I can be proud of that.”

During the same week UConn picked up St. John’s transfer Sid Wilson, the Huskies also hosted a critical recruit in the Class of 2018.
Jalen Carey, the 6-foot-3, 170-pound point guard from the Playaz and Montclair (N.J.) Immaculate Conception, enjoyed his official visit to UConn and will next head to Syracuse on Sept. 8.
“He is a priority and they plan in two years to get [him] to the league,” John Carey, the player’s father, told ZAGSBLOG about UConn. “They love him.”
Carey previously visited Miami, which could lose guards Lonnie Walker and Bruce Brown to the NBA Draft, and are prioritizing Carey to help replace them.
