Can WTA players multi-task? Tennis player by day and sex symbol by night?

Can WTA players multi-task? Tennis player by day and sex symbol by night?
I don't know about you but I have noticed a trend that many of the WTA players become some kind of sex symbol, start doing some modeling, and then their tennis game goes down in the pooper.
We have seen this happen to the likes of Ana Kournikova, Maria Sharapova, and Ana Ivanovic.  Granted- you can't blaim them it must be nice to make lots of money and popularity from being "really, really, ridiculously good-looking," but then where is the love and drive for our favorite game especially when you have been a former world number one and in just a couple years you can't even get past the first round of a tournament.  It comes down to choosing looks vs. tennis quality. Hopefully, other pretty players, like Maria Kirilenko, do not follow this pattern and plays tennis first and being sexy second. Anyone can be beautiful but few can win a grandslam!

What's your opinion on the issue? Am I being harsh?
