Anna Kournikova turned pro in 1995 and retired in 2003. She never won a pro tournament but she won our hearts with sexy attire and provocative poses in SI, FHM, Maxim and our other favorite mags. She was hot and we let it slide that she wasn't that great at tennis.
Maria Sharapova turned pro in 2001 and has won 15 titles thus far. She won Wimbledon in 2004 and the U.S. Open in 2006. Like Anna, Maria is a sexy blonde Russian, but unlike Anna, Maria is good. Maria wins. Maria Sharapova is Anna Kournikova if Anna Kournikova was a winner.
If I had to choose, I choose Maria. Sexy blonde Russians are just sexier when they're whipping some ass on the court. My Maria got beat bad by Serena Williams in the Australian Open finals this weekend, but she made the finals, something Anna never did. Game, set, match.
