NZ sports journalist has run in with Maria Sharapova

Officials at the Australian Tennis Open are yet to decide whether to caution New Zealand journalist James McOnie after yet another run in with Maria Sharapova.

The former world number one had her press conference disrupted today by McOnie after her first round victory. It follows two incidents at the ASB classic in Auckland and another in Melbourne over the weekend.

In today's incident, McOnie replied to allegations from Sharapova that he's stalking her with a sign which said he is not a stalker.

Sharapova hit back that she didn't know why he was there and that having a sign was wrong.
