She won 3.5 million in prize money, got to the quarters in the Australian and the semis at Wimbledon, and rose to number 8 in the world at one time. That’s better than all but about 150 or so women’s players of all time. How in the hell is that disappointing?

If you’re hot and aren’t number one, that’s disappointing? Anke Huber won a few more titles and a little more money, but no one has ever heard of her. With endorsement money, Anna has done quite well and I’m sure that while she would have liked to have won more, she wouldn’t trade places with Huber.

what we don't know is if she wasn't quite as pretty.....and yes, infact, she was/is beautiful.....if she wasn't quite as pretty, would the pressure have been less?...could she have won a few more tourneys?...probably....

but no matter, to reach the professional ranks in womens or mens tennis is meaningful....as it is in most sports, including nascar....

there's lot of polarizing people in sports, but AK is not one of them...
