"Tennis player Anna Kournikova is 25"
Here is a thread I posted TWO years ago (under the name I used here for years).
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1149088/posts
.... Of course I posted it in the Breaking News sidebar where it should be.
You mean freeper guys,
Us girls could not care less
(and who is she?)
You need help. LOL
This one's for you.
...is a retired Russian professional tennis player. Gaining renown as much for her physical beauty as her tennis game, she became one of the best known tennis players worldwide, even among those who do not follow the game.
Presently, she resides in Miami, Florida. An only child, she was born in Moscow, Soviet Union to Alla and Sergei Kournikov; her family later emigrated to the United States.
Kournikova's major-league tennis career has been curtailed for the past several years, and possibly ended, by serious back and spinal problems. She has had some success at the singles game, but her specialty has been doubles, where she has at times been the world's #1 doubles player. With Martina Hingis as her partner, she won Grand Slam titles in Australia in 1999 and 2002.
Kournikova's playing style fits the profile for a doubles player, and is complemented by her being taller than the average tennis player. On occasion, she has been compared to such players as Pam Shriver and Peter Fleming, with numerous doubles championships to their credit playing with shorter partners, such as Martina Navratilova and John McEnroe. With their skill and good looks, Kournikova and Hingis called themselves jestingly The Spice Girls of Tennis.
After you posted
that thread, did Anna find you,
take you to dinner,
and start a thrill-packed
affair that only ended
after you dumped her
for Sharapova?
(I need to know to plan out
my next couple weeks . . .)
LOL! This guy cracks me up!
Thanks. Good points about Anna. I didn't realize she was such a good doubles player. Doubles is pretty interesting, very fast, bang, bang, zoom!
Are you watching the French? Martina N. is still in the mixed with one of the Bryan guys, which I find rather interesting.
It's a goal of mine to actually attend the French someday. Paris, tennis, athletic babes, wine, cheese, ...sounds good to me.
She is quite pretty.
If you call the ability to make a grown man cry quite pretty.
Professional tennis player is a respectable job.
She's not fake. When one's life and carreer revolve around playing tennis their entire life, a physically fit figure is no accident.
She has been polite all the times I've seen her interviewed.
She does charity work and benefit matches.
She has tried her hand at modeling and seems to be quite good at that too.
I am trying to find something that puts her in a category with Paris or Anna Nicole but I just can't find anything. Maybe if she had her own forum with adult overtones and "not worksafe" material, then I could see. Then I could talk about her, but right now I just can't.
Oh yeah! I know! Shes pretty and thin and men think shes very attractive so she must be a slut. Yeah, that's it.
beit me.
beit me.

I weill!!!!
Tanhk yuo.
PS-
No where did I say she was -
a. Ugly
b. A slut
c. A bad person.
My comment was more about title of the post and that many folks just aren't interested in the same things.
Well,
I'm not,
I am,
I wouldn't.
I'm not.
"Between ages 13 and 14, Most people know that
as a pro Anna never
won a tournament.
Most people don't know
that as a junior Anna
won almost as much
as junior Hingis . . .
Anna was a superstar
before turning pro.
