More Information On Maria Sharapova

Tennis star Maria Sharapova has been referred to as the next Anna Kournikova. She’s Russian, blonde and quite the looker. So what sets her apart from everyone’s favorite calendar girl? She can actually win, complete with stunningly long legs that complement her six-foot-tall stature and an impressive grunt that has gained her plenty of its own recognition. Maria has been called the “Queen of Grunts” and the “Siberian Siren,” among a slew of other creative nicknames that low-life commentators have time to make up. With a recent win at Wimbledon and a series of money-spinning deals with Nike, NEC and Prince, Maria has already been prepared for the life of a sports celebrity.Born in Nyagan, a small Siberian town in Russia, Maria was introduced to the father of tennis pro Yevgeny Kafelnikov and given her very first racket at the age of three. As soon as she hit a few balls, Maria became obsessed with the sport and quickly enrolled in a tennis clinic at six. When tennis pro Martina Navratilova discovered the raw talent of the youngster, she went to Maria’s father to recommend that she study at the world-renowned Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Florida. Only a year later, Maria and her father went to Florida with no understanding of English and little money, but the sports management company IMG agreed to sponsor Maria’s $35,000/year tuition.In 2001, the young star joined the junior circuit, and in her first two seasons won 51 matches and lost only six, coming away with six titles. After ranking 186th on the WTA charts with a professional loss to Monica Seles, Maria joined the big leagues and surprised skeptical players with an impressive 34-11 record. By the end of 2003, Maria had won two pro titles (the Quebec City and Japan Open) and two doubles titles with Tamarine Tanasugarn, moving her way up the ranks to 32. With a consistent winning record under her belt and her beautiful face being splashed on magazine covers across the globe, Maria should have no problem settling in to her new role as a celebrity.

Anna Kournikova

Anna Kournikova was born June 7th 1981 in Moscow. Her parents names are Allah and Sergei. She received her first tennis raquet at 5 years old when her parents sold their tv to buy her for christmas. She played in a club near her place untill age 11. After, she moved to Bradenton, Florida (USA) to train with Nick Bollitierri. At 14, she represented Russia in a Fed cup match and became the youngest player ever to win a fed cup match.

Kournikova made her WTA debut at 15 years old at the US Open where she finally lost against #1 player Steffi Graf. She also made it to the double quarter finals that same tournament.

Ashley Harkleroad

Ashley Harkleroad rise to fame has followed closely in the ongoing demise of rival Blonde bombshell Anna Kournikova.When the lacklustre Kournikova started struggled to win a match, tournament directors, and the media, needed a new attraction capable of sticking around long enough to fill their pages with teasing photographs.In almost idyllic timing - Harkleroad made an appearance at the 2001 US Open, and the young American certainly caught someone’s eye.With Kournikova nowhere to be found, she hit the headlines and her picture appeared in plenty of publications. Dressing provocatively and claiming her outfits ‘got the guys shouting for her’ – the media believed they had found their American Kournikova.Unfortunately her results were pretty similar, losing in the first round of that open, and netting an identical result a year later. But she’s still very young so we don't hold that against her - yet.

Daniela Hantuchova

Modern Ladies Tennis is often ridiculed for it's lack of quality in depth and for its glamorous - yet underperforming - icons who grace the pages of countless magazines, despite never winning a title.
Breathing new life into the women's circuit is Daniela Hantuchova, a player worthy of attention for both her talent and her beauty.
Add to that her undeniable charm off the court and her feisty manner on it, and you have a tennis professional who is a natural role model for the ailing women's game.

Tatiana Golovin

Tatiana Golovin (Татьяна Головин or Татьяна Головина) (born January 25, 1988) She was born in Moscow, but moved to Paris with her parents and obtained French citizenship. She also spent six years at Nick Bolletteri's tennis camp in Bradenton, Forida and speaks fluent English as a result.
