Don't get me wrong-I love the #1 eye-candy of the WTA, but it's time to ask:Will Anna EVER learn to do what it takes to be real top ten woman, let alone win slams?
The reason I ask is all these damn exhibitions she's playing. Is an exhibition in Denver good for the males of that city? Yep. Good for Anna's pocketbook? Second Yep. Great for her endorsements? Sure.
Good for her tennis? Hell no <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> The most famous NON-winner of a SINGLE event in WTA history has loads of talent and variety, so why hasn't she had success? Maybe a lot of reasons, but common sense<br />tells most of us that when we aren't getting where we want to go, we need to change.
Change coaches-(maybe ditch momma Olla)<br />Reduce all the commercials, talk shows, etc.
Ok, I MAY be wrong on the first two, but without doubt reduce all the pointless "hit and giggle and collect the cash" one night exhibitions that she does this time every year. All they do is make her richer(like she needs the cash) and cut into time she could be training . DON'T TELL me Anna trains "hard". I know that. She probably OVERTRAINS like a student cramming for an exam they forgot to study until the night before.
I just wish Kournikova would learn from Capriati's example. Use the winter break wisely. New tactics, new serve, something new for god's sake. The old routine will just leave her one year older still looking for respect.
