SINGAPORE - Tennis star Maria Sharapova is not just in Singapore for the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) Finals.

The world No. 2 launched her own line of candy, Sugarpova, at Robinsons The Heeren on Wednesday evening.

Started in 2012, the candy line aims to reflect her fun, fashionable and sweet side. Part of the proceeds from the sale will go to The Maria Sharapova Foundation "for helping children across the world achieve their dreams".

Here are some photos and videos taken from the event.

It has been a busy day for the leggy, 1.88m-tall beauty, who made an appearance at The White Rabbit in Dempsey before the launch. Instagram user tohkeith posted a video of Sharapova breaking into an impromptu jig at the restaurant.
