Maria sends a message from Tokyo…..

masha (2)Hi everyone,

 I landed in Tokyo last night and looking forward to playing my last two events of the year!! I have had a good, positive 3 weeks of training and ready to play some matches!……(she has a tough draw! Opening against Francesca Shiavone, then Samantha Stosur, followed by Vera Zvonareva)

I can’t believe that I haven’t been here in over 2 years! That should never happen! It never ceases to amaze me how interesting this country is! Just when you thought they had the best toilets, they get even better! Haha

Just took a run in the park and happened to pass by a group of 20 children which were clearly fascinated by my height. I dont speak much Japanese (none at all as a matter of fact) but I thought I overheard them say “ooooh giant” Made me laugh.

Just heading out to practice, but wanted to let you know that all is good! Oh and we’re launching the Cole Haan collection tonight… it just hit stores here a week ago. Apparently one of my shoes is the # 1 selling shoe in all of Cole Haan stores back in the States. Pretty Exciting!! Not as exciting as its going to be to get back to #1 tho
