The Russians won 6-4 4-6 6-3 before selling the night session of nearly 24,000 people in New York. Sharapova, 30, played her first game in the Grand Slam as she completed a 15-month doping suspension.

The 2006 champion and former world number one needed a template to enter the main draw, as he took the 146th place. When his name was drawn next to Halep in the first round, he created a contest that was more like a Grand Slam decision than an opening.

In two hours and 44 minutes, sharapova on the highest steps of the racket before Halep's speed, and 60 winners were decisive, despite 64 errors.

"You never know what you'll feel until you win this game, but everything you're going through is worth it for now," said Sharapova, who now has a 7-0 record against hula in Romania.

"Sometimes you wonder why you put all the work, and why."

On Wednesday, Sharapova will meet World No. 59 Hungarian Timea Babos in the second round. Sharapova returned from his ban in April, but fought with hip and forearm injuries, playing only once since May, and also rejected substitutions of the French Open.

The United States Tennis Association was of a different opinion, passing the Russian place in the main draw in New York, and took full advantage.

John McEnroe was one of those who wondered if the Flushing Meadows crowd would react badly to the 2006 champion, but received a warm welcome when he went to the place.

This was Sharapova's first appearance in the "Grand Slam" as she lost to Serena Williams in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open in 2016, and enjoyed returning to the big stage. "It's prime time, baby, I love it," he joked later. "I hug every minute, and I like it."

Halep was three times on the edge of the number one ranking this year and was tough after playing 12 times on North American hard courts in the last month but was eventually defeated by Sharapov.

The five-time Grand Slam champion advanced in the exciting four first games, which lasted 27 minutes, and the winners of the blizzard brought him the first set.

The same ferocious defeat seemed that with Sharapova it was all the same with a score of 4: 1 in the second, but Khaled recovered with five consecutive games to the level.
