I just had to post this for everyone to read. Im sure her fellow players on tour are going to give her a fair bit of grief about this, well I would anyways.
This is just too good. Harkleroad talks in the August 2008 issue about sex, athelete’s bodies and also Anna Kournikova.
On Fit Sex:
“I do think athletes have better sex,” she asserts with a bashful giggle. “Who wants a waify girl with no definition to her body? I like that I have some power and that everything’s tight.”
On Lesbos in the Locker Room:
“Tennis players don’t mind showing off their bodies,” she said. “Often in the locker room I feel other girls’ eyes on me.”
On What She Thinks About The World’s Foremost Tennis Sex Symbol:
“Anna [Kournikova] is stunning to look at, but she’s probably a bit damaged from what she’s been through. That’s how she acts — a bit damaged.”
Harkleroad who is only currently number 72 in the world, really needed to boost her profile somehow and there was no way it was going to be from winning tennis tournaments. What can I say she needs to make money somehow so why not get it from just taking your clothes off.
