Sharapova arrives in Amsterdam ​

Maria Sharapova signing autographs for the fans in the ABN AMRO fans area​

"Im finally here, I arrived yesterday. I took a week off after my loss in the French Open for the singles. I made it to the semifinals of the doubles, so it wasn`t soo much of a waste of my time, so atleast I got some enjoyment out of it"​

"I havent been training yet, I might do a light training session this afternoon before i play tomorrow, but im enjoying the rest . Hopefully I can have a successful week both in the singles and doubles this week, my good weeks have been few and far between and its hard on a player like me who has what it takes to do soo well."

"The fans are always great, i really thank them for there great support. I do think the tour directors have some little problems with me They thought that I didn`t commit to the grass season tournaments, {grin}. Anything to pick on me I guess "

Sabatini reacts on Sharapova`s remarks on her own training...

On Sharapova
"I think Sharapova is pretty much like a tourist, you can see her the way she talks about her game and training and she does not seems focused, i could see that better last week in Buenos Aires, she is like tourist moving from one city to another."

An advice to Sharapova
"she can better dedicate herself to be a model or something, she seems to enjoy been the center of the attention, but certainly her tennis is not even close to that ".

On the tournament
"Well the first time i am the topseeded in a event like this, i was the top seeded last week as well but it was the national championships, i don´t think i played badly, but you know i won 2 matches and lost it on the number of sets diference, but overall i was very happy, i come here with good expectations, i hope to win this event, but who knows all matches are pretty tough, and i hope to be in the best form as possible"
