Thankfully for the credibility of tennis, she did wash out eventually from that. But still rather known. Not for tennis, but for modeling herself.
You must not be much of a tennis fan if you think Kournikova was not a good player. She won 18 titles overall, and though more successful in doubles than singles still was ranked in the top 10 in singles at one point, she won 2 grand slams and a wta championship. She was bothered by injuries through out here career but you should not discount her talent on the court just because she is beautiful.
