Russian jumps to No 2, but says focus isn't on catching No 1 Serena Williams

Maria Sharapova rose to No 2 in the rankings on Monday after her impressive title run at the BNP Paribas Open but says she is motivated much more by Grand Slam glory than the prospect of regaining the top spot.

"Number one is a great number," the elegant Russian laughed after demolishing eighth-seeded Dane Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 6-2 in Sunday's final of the elite WTA event at Indian Wells to land her 28th title on the circuit.
