So, I've made it to semis of this year's US Open, but there's more work to be done! I'm going to be playing Amelie Mauresmo and I'll definitely need to raise my level to move on to the finals. Playing night matches like last nights against Tatiana Golovin is one of the reasons why I love this tournament so much. I just love the competition here. Being out there playing on Arthur Ashe stadium in front of a packed New York house... there's nothing else like this on tour! I'm just really excited to be playing in the semis and receiving all the support from my fans.

I've been trying to check out the website while I'm here in New York as much as I can. Your support is so great. After the tournament I'll try to write another "Doodle" and we'll continue to work on updating the site with new articles and pictures. We're going to be taking a lot of the feedback everyone's provided in the Forum and think about new ways to update the site. We're also trying to work with my sponsors to offer exciting deals and giveaways. Check out some of the great news Motorola has to offer....

Motorola is giving away 50 Special Edition MOTOPEBL™ phones in White printed with Maria Sharapova's signature. Show your sense of style and sign up for a chance to win one of these special edition phones.

Thanks for your support!
