Нынешний лидер рейтинга WTA и финалистка «Ролан Гаррос» 2009 года Динара Сафина возглавила посев среди женщин-одиночниц. Помимо нее, в список лучших ракеток турнира также вошли Елена Дементьева (4-й номер посева), Светлана Кузнецова (5), Вера Звонарева (7), Надежда Петрова (10), Мария Шарапова (24), Алиса Клейбанова (27), Анастасия Павлюченкова (31) и замыкающая список из 32 теннисисток Анна Чакветадзе.

A good news, Sharapova is already number 24. Little by little she will reach her real rank 1.

Sharapova is not satisfied with her game. She knows that she has to work a lot. She doesn’t use her serve at 100%. She thinks it is a weak part of her game. Of course the person who controls the serve controls the ball very well for a while and has more chance to win a point. Her body is not totally ready for an intensive game. The important point is that she is ready to work hard to improve her game. She has willpower. It is a quality of Sharapova. If you want to accomplish your destiny of the best player, you have to work hard and improve your game at each match. You have the talent. You know how to work hard to be the best. You had several famous victories.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.  

«Я думаю, мне над многим еще предстоит работать. Выступление на предыдущих турнирах помогло мне не столько восстановить игру, сколько физическую форму, движение на корте, движение на разных покрытиях. Хотя на траве я всегда очень неплохо двигалась.

Я не знаю, когда я смогу подавать, как прежде. На это потребуется время, я не знаю как долго. Поэтому я и здесь, если бы я знала точно, то, может быть, меня бы здесь, на турнире, и не было, сидела бы дома и ждала, пока подача вернется. Никогда не знаешь, как будешь себя чувствовать, каждый день приносит новые вызовы. Всему свое время.

The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
