Kornikova is a attractive, even pretty, but sharapova goes into the 'beautiful' territory.
If sharapova came along before kornikova, most people wouldn't give anna the time of day.

Will Michelle Wie be the next Anna Kournikova?
My fellow bloggers Doug Carey and Jay Flemma have been talking a lot lately about Michelle Wie and her sponsor exemptions. Should she get them? Should she accept them? Is it nothing more than a publicity stunt? Yada yada yada.
Well maybe it is nothing more than a publicity stunt. But guys, don’t you get it? Women’s golf needs publicity. Really badly.
Annika’s up there breaking every record, winning 59 tournaments and no one’s batting an eyelash.
But put a 15 year old on the PGA tour and suddenly everyone sits up and takes notice.
So maybe Michelle does risk becoming the next Anna Kournikova—a media darling who's all sizzle and no steak. That’s apparently a risk she’s willing to take. If it doesn’t bother her, why let it bother you? For one thing, the book hasn’t been written on her yet. How did coach Pat Summitt turn the University of Tennessee's Lady Vols into the best women's college basketball team of all time? By having them practice against guys. Michelle isn't exactly wasting the best years of her life here, fellas.
As far as the argument goes that another, better female should get the bid first? Well, Michelle is still opening that door. One thing at a time.
Meanwhile, let the girl play. She’s darn fun to watch.
The only reason why Anna K. is considered to be more pretty is because she takes her clothes off for the camera.
That's what makes the world go 'round.
(I think most would disagree.)
A pro that was playing in our foursome said: "I have never seen that in my entire life."
That was 6 years ago. If its not putt-putt, I'm not playing.
Hey pal, give me ring when Michelle qualifies for a mens PGA tournament without a sponsor's exemption. In the meantime, I know it's particularly tough for someone like you, but get over it.
Anna didn't either! (meow!!!!!)
I'd walk a mile, for a camel
Never claimed she would...pal.
Wouldn't waste the quarter giving you a ring...since you obviously only like to hear yourself speak anyway.
Again, try getting over yourself sometime.
It's definitely a topic that should be researched.
WHERE???? WHEN???? HOW DID I MISS THIS?!?!?!?!?!
Keep trying, your not over it yet.
Thank goodness! Otherwise I might get stuck behind you. I generally like to play in less than six hours. :^}
Who is that?
That incident was on the 12th hole if memory is correct. I put up the clubs and just drove the cart for the remaining 6 after that!
No need to try, no "it" to get over.
Michelle Wie
Come on, get over it. You will feel so much better.
Gee, you're both a pointless and persistent little gnat.
I hope you had a six pack in the cart. (Or as we call it, a sack-full-o-beers)
Keeper of the beer is a very important function in the foursome.
That's right. Get over it.
