Kournikova 'no longer sexiest tennis player'

Kournikova 'no longer sexiest tennis player'

A tennis magazine says Slovakian teenager Daniela Hantuchova has replaced Anna Kournikova as the sexiest woman in the game.

Hantuchova was awarded the title by pundits for Ace magazine.

Kournikova was second, followed by Austrian player Barbara Schett.

Swiss player Miroslava Vavrinec and Jelena Dokic, of Serbia-Montenegro, also made the top five.

The Daily Mail reports Hantuchova has the longest legs in lawn tennis. At 44 inches they're five inches longer than those of her rivals.

The 19-year-old, who's ranked 11th at Wimbledon, said: "I always try to look my best on court. It is very flattering to be chosen as the sexiest player."

But she added: "The most important thing is how I perform on court."

What major matches has Kournikova won? Does she seriously play tennis, or just use it as a springboard for mag spreads?

What a dreadfully boring game to watch!!

Seriously, the only time I hear Anna K's name is in connection with her photo shoots or something totally unrelated to tennis.

I'm just curious as to what kind of tennis player she is.

She has won a couple of major doubles titles and reach the quarter final in the majors as a singles player. She has been in the top 10. She is by no means one of the greatest players to play the game, but she knows how to market herself and she has a lot to market.

Sure hope she doesn't have Anna's over inflated ego.
Anna is real high on herself with no particular good reason.

The list of "pundits" for this magazine must consist of pedophiles.

She looks all of about 12 or 13.

Or homosexual pedophiles? She looks like a 12 or 13 year old boy. Okay, maybe a 12 or 13 year old boy in drag, but that's about as close as it gets.

I remember Gabriella playing Steffi years ago.
She looked real nice, especially in the third set when
she worked up a decent sweat, if ya know what I mean.

Will this do?

In a pinch?.....sure! ;o)

Actually, she looks like a nice pretty girl, but I'm not ready to have my "I Love Anna" tattoo removed just yet.
