Maria is gorgeous, but [Daniela Hantchukova](http://dhantuchova.com/popup.php?id=3) is even better looking! ---

[QUOTE=bump] Me, it’s Kournikova all day. Sharapova is just too damn thin.. [/QUOTE] I agree on both counts. Sharapova’s face always looks too small for her head, or her head too small for her body, or something. [QUOTE=bump] Yeah, in a jailbait kind of way.. [/QUOTE] I agree she looks really young in the linked photo but I just looked at her bio on her site (I never heard of her before) and she was born in 1983. Could be an older picture of course. ---

[QUOTE=glee] Maria is gorgeous, but [Daniela Hantchukova](http://dhantuchova.com/popup.php?id=3) is even better looking! [/QUOTE] Bit on the skinny side if you ask me. same as Sharapova Gimme Kournikova anytime, and I mean _anytime_ ---

Sharapova’s a beauty, alrighty, I mean, look at the pics and use your eyebulbs. I think what throws some people off is she conducts herself as an athlete rather than a model. I’m OK with that, in part because she comes off as a nice if very focussed person in her interviews. ---

[QUOTE=Aesiron] She’s cute. If I knew her in person, I’d probably think she was cuter but compared to other well-known people, she doesn’t rank. [/QUOTE] What he said, though I will say it was _very_ hot when she pulled that camera out of Og knows where in that Canon commercial. ---

Maria is very hot, but would be hotter if she were shorter. As for Lindsay Davenport- ugh. The first match I ever saw her play in I thought it was a dude doing a Bobby Riggs type thing. ---

Maria and Anna are both attractive women but I would prefer Gabriela Sabatini. Sometimes I just like to say her name because it sounds hot- Gabriela Sabatini. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/settle-an-argument-is-maria-sharapova/434275.md?page=1)
