Obviously she's morphing into a Kournikova ...

Except Sharapova has won a Grand Slam.

Very true ... Kournikova never won a tournament, let alone a grand slam.

[Dirko]

Very true ... Kournikova never won a tournament, let alone a grand slam.

She won a heap of doubles tournaments and 2 Australian Open double titles. Does that count ?

Spent a long time as the #1 doubles player in the world.
