Unlike Anna, Ms. Sharapova actually wins major tournaments in order to be called "champion". ;)

That's for sure.

Yes, you're right about her winning ....and thanks for the picture! This is a quote I found from her a few months ago (I think she's won about 6 or 7 tourneys now, and of course the BIG one, Wimbledon.

****

WITH her flaxen hair, perfect complexion and endless legs, it's little wonder Maria Sharapova has been dubbed the new Anna Kournikova.

"But the 17-year-old Russian doesn't like the title one bit. In fact, she goes so far as to say her countrywoman is not only a has-been, but a never-was.

"I'm not the new anyone, and certainly not the new Kournikova," she snaps. "People seem to forget that Anna isn't in the picture any more, it's Maria time now.

"You can't compare us. She never won a single tournament, and I've won two already. Besides, I intend having a lot longer career than she did."

****

One cool (beautiful) customer.

Here's a new picture of her, dressed up. Very pretty.
