The main difference between Anna Kournikova and Maria Sharapova is the simple little fact that Maria Sharapova is actually good at tennis. Though Anna is the most popular/famous tennis player in the universe, she's never even won a Grand Slam title. Not that anybody really even cares about her tennis playing abilities though. As long as she's blonde and looks decent in a bikini, America will embrace her as the greatest tennis sensation since Pete Sampras.

Not only did Anna never win a Grand Slam, she never actually won a tournament. Ever. In her entire career. And somehow she made the Top 10.

I don't think it's how good she is at tennis that wins her the vote. It's the passion she has for it.
