| Jennifer belongings being auctioned on eBay |
08 dicembre 2006
Is Jennifer Capriati ready to make a comeback or just strapped for
cash? She's not quite ready for the courts at the
moment, but she appears to be taking a stab at e-commerce, with cyber
superstore eBay auctioning a variety of her possessions.
Although the auctions are not set up by the three-time Grand Slam champion
herself, they claim to be selling the items on her behalf.
"Tennis Great and American Icon Jennifer Capriati is cleaning out her
closets! Jennifer has decided to part with some
of her Louis Vuitton Bags," the ad touts.
"This bag would be a great holiday gift for yourself or someone on your
list and a great added bonus that a Tennis Champion
personally carried this bag."
It appears that Capriati had the same keen sense for accessories as she did
for winning tournaments. The seller has five
Louis Vuitton handbags and a Louis Vuitton belt said to belong to the former
world No. 1. There's also a pair of Tod's
boots, which brings about an interesting bit of information: Capriati's shoe
size, a healthy size 11!
Not to worry, Paris Hilton is believed to wear the same size – perhaps they can share?
The auctioneer also states that a "personalized, signed" photograph of
Capriati will be given to the auction winners.
Similar auctions for handbags owned by Reese Witherspoon, the Olsen twins,
and other celebrities appeared on the site but
were sponsored by a magazine with proceeds being donated to charity. The
nature of Capriati's auction remains unclear.
Capriati has been sidelined from the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour with a string
of injuries ranging from shoulder and back
problems to a hamstring injury. The last year she was active was 2004, when
she missed the Oz Open due to injury but
reached the quarterfinals or better at the remaining three Slams.
