Like Anna Kournikova, seventeen year-old Maria Sharapova is beautiful and a native of Russia. Unlike Kournikova, Sharapova has "got game."

Sharapova is the youngest player to make the Wimbledon semifinals since Kournikova met Martina Hingis in 1997 when both were sixteen. Hingis beat Kournikova in the semis and won the title that year.

Hingis has retired, and Kournikova has been off the tour for months with chronic injuries.
