Team Ana released some images from their ballers photoshoot for the WTA Tour's "Looking for a Hero?" global marketing campaign. Now, after seeing the left image it struck me as being very familiar. What other baller on the Tour is a wannabe sexpot model? Oh right - Maria Sharapova, duh!
Look, we all get that sex sells but there's absolutely nothing sexy about the image particularly when you're working your adidas duds against a blank background. Plus, the posing + pouting don't work for you Ana - not that they work for Shrieka either.
Seriously Team Ana, do you really want your girl to go down the same road as Shrieka? I think you guys need to focus on getting Ana back on track to her winning ways or none of this will really matter anyway.

I do hope Ana will win in Kremlin Cup.
ReplyDeletewow, that's just...awkward.
ReplyDeleteAna! WTF?
ReplyDeleteI know it's just nuts - what is she, they, trying to sell her as? It's third rate at best - wannabe sex kitten is just not her schtick, IMO.
ReplyDeleteAna just doesn't have that type of appeal. She should be going for the "Girl Next Door" not the "Sexy Girl." She can't pull it off but neither does Sharapova who is more "Icy Girl."
ReplyDelete-Lisa
Ana should just get rid of that dress. Hasn't she put two and two together? The dress has a correlation to her losing.
ReplyDeleteSex sells, but Ana can't sell sex. For better or worse, she's just not that girl.
ReplyDeleteleia thats just crazy to say something like that. Ana's outfit has nothing to do with her recent struggles on court.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, they both look stupid.
ReplyDeleteGo down Sharapova's road? The road where she's won 3 grand slams and 16 other WTA titles? Yea, they might just want to go there because right now it's obviously not happening for Ana.
ReplyDeleteSharapova looks pretty damn good in that picture, as any straight male will tell you. Agreed on Ana, though.
ReplyDeleteanon: yes my straight brothers, please come out and let us know about it!!!
ReplyDeletemore 'beautigul' Maria ;) enjoy
