Elie Seckbach, the Embedded Correspondent, brings his exclusive video reporting to FanHouse. Check back regularly for more videos. 22-year-old tennis hottie Maria Kirilenko has been ranked as high as No. 18 in the world, but she's getting a lot of attention for her looks instead of her tennis ability. In fact Kirilenko has been on the cover of many magazines and was selected in 2006 to be the face of Adidas. In this video we talk to Maria about her game and her name -- her connection to Utah Jazz star Andrei Kirilenko.
Check out the video after the jump.

Elie, Please give us a break. When people think you're related to someone with the same last name, you can clarify your "relation to" that person, NOT your "relationship with" them, which implies a romantic link. And please, you're getting paid to write, so just decide which way you want to spell "Andrei," and see if you can stick with it for two short paragraphs. Sheesh.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but can't help suspecting that this was purposeful i.e. the name was misspelled as Andre and the connection described as a "relationship" to make us think this was referring to a relationship with Andre Agassi!!!!!
