Maria Sharapova offers to play fans in virtual match at US Open

Maria Sharapova adds her skills to a new virtual reality game that will allow tennis fans to play against her.

Tennis fans will soon be able to go up against Maria Sharapova in a virtual match at the US Open.

Prior to the final Grand Slam of the year, which gets underway on August 31, Sharapova was put through her paces to create a CGI version of herself.

The world number two donned a special outfit designed to track her moves for the virtual reality game, which will be called 'You vs. Sharapova', according to the Daily Mail.

The Russian professional took to Twitter at the weekend to write: "Virtual reality with @AmericanExpress is coming to the @usopen. The most technical and detailed shoot ever!"
