QuoteReplyTopic: Anna Kournikova needs a haircut Posted: June 24 2002 at 12:51pm
ANOTHER FIRST ROUND LOSS AT WIMBLEDON FOR OUR FAMOUS MODEL (TENNIS PLAYER HA HA) ANNA KOURNIKOVA. WHO AGREES THAT SHE NEEDS TO MAKE HER MIND UP, IS SHE A TENNIS PLAYER OR A MODEL. I THINK THE IDEAL START FOR HER IS TO CUT HER HAIR NICE AND SHORT. FORGET ABOUT PRETTINESS, AND CONCENTRATE ON TENNIS - AND FIND OUT WHAT SHE`S REALLY ABOUT.
I think if she were to cut her hair people would notice that she is much more suited to be a tennis player than a model. I`m not saying she is dog ugly just that if you take away her hair her beauty would have to stand on its own and seh wouldn`t even make it to the first round of modeling.

I hope that I misinterpreted your post - it sounded like if she cut her hair short she wouldn`t be pretty. Long doesn`t mean pretty and short doesn`t mean ugly... Though I would like to see her cut her hair. I`m not sure that a short, short cut would be good on her. I think a layered, flippy style from chin to just above the shoulders would look good. Maybe like Jane Fonda or Renee Russo had. The long hair does not do it for me (but that is me) and the tennis skill (or lack of) doesn`t either.
So you are saying if she cuts her hair that will make her a better tennis player. DUH!! Sounds like you have a fetish for girls with short hair by saying that she NEEDS a SHORT haircut. Her hair is a major asset of hers. I can see her getting a few inches trimmed, but hey her hair works for her. Look at Mary Pierce, she is the same kind of tennis player with long hair or her new shorter hair. Her new cut didn`t make her better.

Anna`s hair an asset? Maybe off the court, certainly not on it. If she could win a tournament now & then, people would look at her differently. As an athlete & not just someone with good genetics & good hair.
And Mary Pierce is a MUCH better tennis player than Anna.
I saw her at Wimbledon today too. I usually LOVE Anna`s hair but it needed some attention ITA... looked dry and icky to me. Would still kill to have it tho!!! ;)

loveshort&blonde - If you are refering to my post then I think you interpreted it right and wrong. I think if she cut her hair she wouldn`t be very pretty but personally I don`t think seh is very pretty anyway. Her prettyness (or lack of) has nothing to do with her hair length but if she cut her hair I think most that do think she is so hot would see she really is quite... well, so so .

Sorry, I saw Anna at a recent Detroit Red Wings game up close and personal and she still has the best hair among all celebrities. Believe it or not, she occasionally sits in the stands, signs autographs and struts around the concession areas between periods, waving to her minions who hold their breath as she walks by. I don`t watch Anna Kournikova because of her tennis. But I`d watch her less with a haircut.

Really Gordo. And you didn`t get asked to leave by security for breathjing down her neck or for stalking her? That`s almost as hard to believe as Anna wanting to cut her hair.

I`m wondering what people`s reaction would be if someone were said to be "too ugly" to play competitive tennis (or for anything else for that matter)...yet, isn`t there more than a hint of that sort of unpleasant undertone here - that Anna K is "too pretty" to be taken seriously...and isn`t that really just as offensive?

Why is it so hard to believe, Stu-o? Anna was either dating or has married Red Wing Sergei Federov. Their relationship goes back to her teen-age years. They`re both celebrities from Russia. She even rode in Sergei`s car in the Red Wings Stanley Cup parade in 1997. The first time I laid eyes on her at Joe Louis Arena was earlier that year when she was standing with Sergei`s dad. I had met Sergei`s dad at a hockey school he runs, but didn`t know who the blonde next to him was. I thought it was HIS date. Turned out to be Anna. Five years later, she`s a longhair icon, leaving the guys drooling in the aisles when she visits Hockeytown. Believe it or not.
Her hair has nothing to do with her tennis ability, cutting hair hair is not going to make her a better tennis player. Obviously, with her looks, she gets plenty of attention, but she has never claimed to be the best tennis player in the world.

What I don`t understand is that you seem to think that if Anna would cut her hair, she may be taken more seriously and win a tournament. She has never won a tournament, so if she cut her hair "nice and short" how would it improve her playing ability that much to be able to start winning,m when she has not been able to in the past.
If Anna cut her hair, she would look more like every other tennis player who wins tournaments, but she would still not be able to win just based on the length of her hair. Her hair, along with her body and looks, is what makes her. She is an OK tennis player who doesn`t ever win, yet she is one of the most famous female athletes because of her looks. Adidas didn`t put her in that commercial with her skirt blowing up and her hair down because of her tennis ability, why would she give up her most valuble asset, so that the people on this board will like the change?

I`ve never said she would play better tennis same day she cut her hair. But I`m convinced that cutting that famous braid off paves the way for her to more training and serious play.
I love short haired babes (Josie Bissett, Halle Berry), but I think that Anna has the best hair of all-time. There is no reason for her to cut it. While it is true that she has never won a singles title, she has been ranked as high as #8 in the world, has been part of the top ranked doubles team & won several doubles titles at grand slam events. She is much more than a pretty face. She probably could take tennis more seriously, but a haircut isn`t the answer. In fact, if she cut her hair, it would just again focus all the attention on her appearance and away from tennis.
I think that if she`s happy playing tennis as well as with modelling, then she should continue on as is! Happiness is what matters most. Even if she`s not winning whatever tournaments people say she should be, she`d kick my butt on the court while blindfolded and shoelaces tied together even!!!
I love her hair, her look. I`d trade if I could. Her hair is a big part of what makes her a striking visual beauty. But I wouldn`t be at all surprised if she chopped it and still exuded that `everybody drop everything and look at me!` presence!
