Who said winning is everything? For Anna Kournikova, looking good is worth a lot more.

Kournikova, the 22-year-old Russian-born tennis player who has never won a WTA tournament, plans to show a more intimate side by rolling out a new sports bra in the U.S. on Friday.

Good points---I should have said the Williams sisters have been in far *less* ads and probably made far less in endorsements than Anna Kournikova. The sisters by and large have not won the public's imagination (the father's bullying behavior being a small part), with all their victories, as a Billie Jean King, Chris Evert, and Virginia Wade. I notice Martina Navratalova was rarely in ads, for good reasons, obviously.

I do remember Chris Evert; she was a beauty. No match --no pun intended -- for Anna, though. Let's just say the Williams sisters won't have posters of themselves plastered all over teenage guy's rooms and dorms.

My tennis hero when I was a kid was *LOL* Ilie Nastase, and that is because he represented the childish nastiness that seemed so out of the adult world...maybe he was a little rebellious, as well.

Yes, I noticed that as well, but everything seems to be in the right place..
