Maria Sharapova at the Vanity Fair Oscar party (02/25/07)

[Raspberry gashes]

She's so average, you've got to be kidding me. I could go down to the mall today, throw a stone, and hit 10 girls better looking.

Either way to be a professional tennis play is an incredibly hard feat and getting into the top 10 just speaks for itself. Especially at such a young age. You hear all this talk about Ivanovic and Vaidosva when result wise neither is much better than Kournikova. Ivanovic hasn't even been in the top ten and she's 19 while Anna was 17 or 18 when she made it.

Yeah, her looks are overrated. Now onto her tennis ability she did start off well as a teen, but her game never developed. Once Williams, henin and co. started to dominate the game - anna was pretty much gone.

I actually think she's slightly below the average teenage girl. She was actually quite cute when she was 16/17 but then she aged. I mean it's funny to say but she really did.

[arie_skop]

Yes, she was cute as a 16 year old but now she's nothing special

I couldn't believe shes only 19, i thought she was much older.

Not a great beauty or anything, but not fug either. I think she is average, and I don't mean that in an insulting way.

[ediebrooks]

Damn, she looks tough. Remind me to hire her as my bodyguard.

lol@bodyguard

I'm stunned this woman is considered a sex symbol

[Raspberry gashes]

I saw a doco on her the other night and she was out shopping and kept saying 'thats hot' and i thought 'oh no not another one' but then to my relief she goes- 'oh no, i sound like paris hilton!'

[arie_skop]

Her speech isnt the best, you should hear her speak during press conferences - her favourite terms are " you know" or "like"

[Raspberry gashes]

Yeah but sometimes when people are nervous they come out with that alot.

[arie_skop]

True, but she doesnt appear the type who would be nervous - she comes across as very confident and cocky

[Chilly Willy]

She's the personification of meh.

[crumpet]

It seems that all you need to be a sports 'hottie' is have long blonde hair and a decent body. Maria is not pretty.

[Born In A Brothel]

She can look pretty.

I think most of her appeal is she is toned, blonde and has an accent.

It doesn't hurt she grunts a lot on the court either.
