Giant Maria Sharapova arrives in Tokyo

Maria Sharapova in Tokyo

Maria Sharapova has arrived in Tokyo, Japan, to compete in the Toray Pan Pacific Open, the first of the last two tournaments she will play this year, and to launch her Cole Haan Collection, which hit stores in Tokyo a week ago.

According to Maria’s weekly doodle she is excited about being back in Tokyo.

I can't believe that I haven't been here in over 2 years! That should never happen!

My favorite part of Maria’s doodle is the following:

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 don't speak much Japanese (none at all as a matter of fact) but I thought I overheard them say "ooooh giant" Made me laugh.

    The hopman cup is shaping up pretty good. Dementieva, Oudin and Stosur so far :)

    She's actually 6'2", 188 cm; I'm pretty sure she's tied with the tallest- Davenport.

    Expect Oz to go crazy, Laura Robson's (ex- Aussie) coming down under too.

    It'll be interesting how the nation should assume loyalties with this one:

    Hewitt Stosur vs Murray Robson
