Unlike Anna Kournakova (sp?) she actually won a tournamnet.

Yes, Maria is the real-deal, tennis wise. AND quite a looker. However, there's just something ultra-sexy about Anna. Mandatory link:

I think this is an unfair knock against Anna. She won a doubles tournament and she was what - a top 10-15 player? If you are a top 15 player IN THE WORLD - you are pretty damn good.

 

"Kournikova was a member of the Russian delegation to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1997, as a 16-year old, she reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon, where she lost to the eventual champion, Martina Hingis by a score of 6-3, 6-2. 1998 was her breakthrough year, when she broke into the WTA's top 20 rankings for the first time and scored impressive victories over Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, and Steffi Graf. Kournikova's two Grand Slam doubles titles came in 1999 and 2002, both at the Australian Open in the Women's Doubles event with partner Martina Hingis, with whom she played frequently starting in 1999."

 

I dunno, maybe she didn't win Wimbledon, but she made it to the semi's and lost to the eventual champ. I find it hard to criticize that.

Won't get any argument from me about tennis. 0:)

 

I think Maria is very pretty but she's kind of flat. I also think she should be concentrating more on winning some of those big matches than all this other stuff. It's too much of a distraction.

 

 

In any event, I do have the SI mag. Top notch stuff. That Anna V chick is off the charts.
