On Monday evening, Maria Sharapova celebrated her cover of Hamptons magazine with Editor-in-Chief Samantha Yanks and Publisher Debra Halpert at HAVEN Rooftop at Sanctuary Hotel with Exude Lipstick, Russian Standard Vodka, TAG Heuer and London Jewelers. Maria looked chic in a red Valentino number and  Christian Louboutin shoes. She just returned from her first Olympic games at which she won a Silver Medal. 

 The countdown to the U.S. Open has begun and Maria Sharapova looks amazing on latest cover of HAMPTONS magazine. Check out a preview of her cover story:  On the feeling of being the first woman to carry the flag at the Olympics for Russia:

"Pretty incredible; it's such an honor. I grew up in Russia watching the Olympics - it was such a big part of our culture - and at that time, tennis wasn't as popular (in Russia) as it is now. How big the sport is over there this year as opposed to when I was watching it as a young girl makes it extra special."

On the joy of winning:"Tennis is such an individual sport, so it's a spectacular feeling when you've achieved things that you've really worked for."

On her new business venture, Sugarpova:"My manager, whom I've been working with since I was 10 years old, brought this to the table, and I thought it was so funny and so creative. Over the past two years, I've loved the different flavors of gummys; I thought why not put together something I could have as my own. To own something 100 percent is something that I really wanted to experience."

On if a family is in the future:"For sure! My mother and I have a very close relationship; she had me when she was really young. I've missed that train, but absolutely, some day."
