As for her tennis career she was just bundled out of a tournament in Lyon in the first round.Think Anna Kournikova. Easy on the eye, useless on the tennis court, a marketers dream. Genie is the same, watch NB sales jump after a few posts of her wearing their stuff.
Good luck to her but spare a thought for a tennis player with more ability and desire but who doesnt have that celebrity appeal
and easy money to fall back on. ie You are ranked in the top 50 but a player ranked 100 spots above you will probably earn more money for playing less tennis at a lesser level if they have the looks and are media savvy.
