Because she's a tennis player not named Anna or Maria.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -Maria Sharapova won the Australian Open without losing a set, wrapping up her third Grand Slam title with a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Ana Ivanovic on Saturday.
After Ivanovic sprayed a forehand wide on match point, Sharapova dropped to her knees and appeared to be fighting back tears as she waved and blew kisses to the crowd.
Then the 20-year-old Russian star dropped her racket in her chair before heading to shake hands and exchange high-fives with her father and supporters.
She clasped her hands and swayed as she stood, waiting to receive the Daphne Akhurst Trophy, then told the Rod Laver Arena crowd that she'd received a text message from tennis great Billie Jean King telling her that 'Champions take chances and pressure is a privilege.'
``I took mine,'' said Sharapova, back in a final at a major for the first time since her 6-1, 6-2 loss to Serena Williams last year at Melbourne Park.
Sharapova wished her mother, Yelena, a happy birthday and told her: ``With this big fat check, I'm going to send you a bunch of roses.''
The Russian, seeded fifth, was aggressive from the start and, apart from one bad service game in the first set that allowed Ivanovic back to 4-4, controlled the important points against a Serbian player for the second consecutive match.
Sharapova beat No. 3 Jelena Jankovic in the semifinals after ending top-ranked Justine Henin's 32-match winning streak in the quarterfinals.
Ivanovic, also 20, is 0-2 in Grand Slam finals. She lost the French Open championship match to Henin last year.

Women's tennis should take a page from the volleyball book and make them play in bikinis.
