Goodbye Anna, Hello Maria

I like this 17 year old wunderkind - beautiful, 6 ft tall and cocky.

"I'm not the new anyone, and certainly not the new Kournikova ," Sharapova was quoted saying. "People seem to forget that Anna isn't in the picture any more, it's Maria time now.

Kournikova "never won a single tournament, and I have already. Besides, I intend having a lot longer career than she did."

She has even more to say.
