PARIS: Maria Sharapova is making the London Olympics one of her top priorities this year after missing the Beijing Games with an injury.
The third-ranked Russian has already won three Grand Slams but has never competed at the Olympics.
Sharapova said on Monday that "representing my country will be a huge honor," and is something she has wanted to do "since I was a young kid."
Sharapova missed the 2008 Beijing Olympics because of a shoulder injury.
Sharapova reached the final of the Australian Open last month and said she hopes that will be a springboard for winning another Grand Slam title this year.
She is competing in the Open GDF Suez for the first time this week.
