Is that a recent photo? Because she's gotta be pushing 40 by now. I remember her being a big deal around 2001 or 2002. If so, she's still looking good.

She was awfully popular for a tennis player who never won a major singles title.

I can't imagine why.

I never got the appeal of this broad. Even at her peak she was nothing special to look at. Martina Hingis was both far hotter and way more successful.

Yes. Compared to Kournikova who isn't even good for a bog standard blonde. I'd even take Sharapova over her.

I'm beginning to think you just hate Kournikova for some reason.

You sound like a fanboy lol. I am a longtime tennis fan, so I was there for all the hype over her. It's not hate it's more like baffling to justify all the attention put on her back when she was playing, especially since she didn't win jack. Sharapova especially got compared to her a lot and I was like what. And I'm no Sharapova fan by any stretch. Not saying you can't like people for being just pretty, I mean let's be real that's the only reason a lot of guys even watch women's tennis, since they only take the men's game seriously. Point is there's any number of random eastern European blondes on tour you can pick out that look better than Kournikova and haven't done much either. But she blew up and they didn't. Guess it's about being in the right place at the right time.

I'm not a fanboy. I didn't even know what she looked like before this topic. The pic in the OP is a pretty fine looking blonde girl.

I think she just lucked out on some advertising deals and it snowballed from there. I've never been big into tennis so I couldn't say either way. Honestly, I'm always a little surprised to see tennis stars get ad deals at all.

Having a big forehead doesn't make you ugly. Rihanna got a giant forehead and hot af. I always thought Hingis was very pretty even if her bratty personality left much to be desired. At any rate she's more memorable than Kournikova who is bland even by cookie cutter blonde standards. I keep mentioning Sharapova also because she's the most apt comparison. She was overrated too but not nearly as much as Anna.

Fuck no, even by 80's standards she's not hot, she's like on Hilary Swank of attractiveness, alright looking but not anything to fight for.

Just googled Martina Hingis and I have to say that you must have some deep, personal, burning hatred of Kournikova to think Hingis was ever hotter.

She was also one of the most successful players of her generation, winning numerous tournaments including the very rare the Career Slam. Hard to "overrate" someone who was legitimately elite. Sponsors certainly loved her more than some other, more successful players but she really was a great player at her best. Kournikova wasn't terrible by any means but her popular exposure, brief though it was, was always greater than reasonably justifiable for a 2nd or 3rd-tier singles pro who's only notable success came in doubles.

No I mostly agree with you. Both in looks and as a player she is far above Anna. But you can be very good and still overrated. The media was always trying to push her as a rival of Serena and being the next great thing. Which is a joke, she was never that level and there was never any rivalry. She almost always got shit on. As for the other dudes here I guess it's a matter of taste. Blondes don't do much for me with men or women. Most are so utterly unremarkable and even so Anna was meh. She just got lucky. Like I said you can find other random blondes on tour that are hotter.

When someone asks me how attractive a girl is my first question is how good is she as a tennis player.

Not sure what you going on about. Others brought up her underwhelming record before me. But thats beside the point because that was always secondary. First thing I said in here was Hingis was hotter which people disagree with. Which is fine. I also said Maria Sharapova is hotter too, comparing blondes. The other guy is who brought up Maria's playing record so I gave him my thoughts on that also. You seem super defensive of Kournikova for a guy who claimed not to be a fanboy and never even seen her before.
