Sharapova shakes off talk of all things family related

Maria Sharapova reached the US Open second round on Monday before jokingly admitting that the subject of pregnancy came up during recent tests into a mystery stomach problem.

The Russian superstar eased to a 6-2, 6-2 win over Hungary's Melinda Czink in her first match since finishing with a silver medal at the Olympics.

Sharapova then pulled out of the Montreal and Cincinnati tournaments with a stomach problem that left her in severe pain as well as her head in a spin after undergoing an ultrasound examination.
