NEW YORK - Maria Sharapova described her return to Grand Slam center stage after a 15-month doping ban as "a great ride" despite her US Open campaign ending in the fourth round on Sunday.
The former world No 1 and five-time major winner fell 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 to Latvian 16th seed Anastasija Sevastova.
It was her first appearance at a Slam since the 2016 Australian Open, where she failed a drug test and was kicked out of the sport until April this year.
