After turning professional in 1995, Kournikova won six doubles titles and
achieved a ranking of nine. However, many believe this beauty has not yet
reached her full potential. In either case, Kournikova consistently attracts
a large fan base at any tournament she plays.
In 2001, tennis star-turned-sex symbol Anna Kournikova took home £220,000
in tournament prize money. It was a sum overshadowed by the £7
million-plus she banked for endorsements, flashing that model smile for
everything from
Adidas to Charles Schwab investments. And the offers keep rolling in,
though she's never won a major singles tennis title and in 2002 was ranked
somewhere
in the 50s in the sport. Let's face it: the cool blonde isn't currently
the highest-earning female athlete in the world just for her talent on
the courts. |
