You may have forgotten about tennis celebrity Anna Kournikova, but the retired star celebrates her 31st birthday today.
Kournikova took the tennis world by storm in the 1990s, gaining as much attention for her good looks as her tennis ability.
But Kournikova's career is largely considered a disappointment.
Once a highly-touted phenom, she failed to live up to her potential before ultimately finding her niche off the court.

Where’s a pic of that lesbionic, 30 year old Billie Jean King beating 55 year old Bobby Riggs?
I find women tennis players who audibly grunt on every ground stroke to be divisive.

Might have had something to do with the fact that Federov was 34 when he says the relationship ended. Unless your name's Gordie Howe, that's old for a hockey player. Particularly so for the Russians, all of whom smoke. If you want to blame anyone, blame Pavel Bure.
This is Lindsay Davenport, whom I've always wondered about.
This is eyewash.

WINNER!
“$3 million in tennis earnings”
Yeah that says loser to me too. /s
I’m sorry you suffered for your beliefs!
Re: the pic in #8.
She looks like she ‘dresses right’. Uncommon.
From that pic I’d question her gender.
Rise and FALL!!! I think not. If your object is to make a lot of money by playing a particular sport, she’s succeeeded wildly. She started out practically penniless (or rubleless) and now has 50 million big ones. I don’t consider that a failed career.
Which merely understates the fact that men will only watch women's sports when the females are attractive. I doubt many men tuned in to watch Navratilova. She was a great player but unattractive. The fact that she was a lesbian didn't help much either. Might not reflect well on the male sex, but the reality is men would rather a watch a good-looking female loser than a not-so-good looking female winner.
I once read a book by Rod Laver. He just flat out said Riggs, using a surrogate, bet heavily on King then threw the match.
That makes sense to me as he absolutely destroyed Margaret Court who was ranked about King at the time. King was in on it too.
There’s nothing like profiting on Feminazism!
true, she wouldn’t get a second glance in Russia — Slavic women are gorgeous!
