Russian tennis player Anastasia Potapova admitted that she adequately refers to the frequent comparisons with the ex-eighth racket in the world Anna Kournikova .
– As far as comparisons are concerned… And what do we want? Blonde, long hair, Russian, tall – a typical tennis player for our country. It’s even that kind. And after me, some young girls will be compared to someone else. It’s completely normal, I treat it properly. Of course, I want people to look at me and remember that I am Anastasia Potapova, not Anna Kournikova. If you open the comments, you can go crazy how many reviews like “Anna 2.0” remain there. I can’t say it makes me angry, but I’m not happy either. I would just like to write “Potapov 1.0″. Maybe due to the upcoming results I will be able to change a bit,” Potapova told the “Championship”.
On February 12, Potapova won the Upper Austria Ladies Linz tournament for over $250,000 in prize money.
Kournikova, 41, is the former world No. 1 in doubles. The Russian has won the Australian Open twice with Switzerland’s Martina Hingis.
