• Anva (Anna) Kournikova was born on June 7, 1981 in Moscow, Russia to Alla and Sergei Kournikova.

•  Anna started playing tennis at age five and soon began to enter competitions (she received her first tennis racquet as a Christmas present from her parents).  Her talent was noticed early and she soon bgan playing at the exclusive Spartak Tennis Club and was coached by Larissa Preobraschenskaja.  At nine years old, she impressed people on an international level when she competed in the ATP tour when it came to Moscow.

• In 1992, at age 11, she moved to Bradenton, Florida so she could be coached by Nick Bolletierri at his tennis academy.

• At age 14, she was the youngest player to win the Fed Cup. She followed this up by also winning the European Championship and the Italian Open for the junior bracket.  By the end of 1995, she was ranked number one in the Junior Circuit (ITF Junior World Champion) and was ready for the big time.

• In 2001, she began to be plagued by injuries that severely affected her playing abilities.  It was also about this time that the young beauty began to do advertisements (prompted by the huge positive reaction to her gracing the cover of the June 2000 Sports Illustrated).  By 2002, she was making over ten million dollars in endorsement deals.

Most of Kournikova's fame has come from the publicity surrounding her personal life as well as numerous modeling shoots. During her debut at the 1996 U.S. Open at the age of 15, Kournikova's beauty was noticed by the world and soon pictures of her appeared in numerous magazines worldwide.

Kournikova's marital status has been an issue on several occasions. There were conflicting rumors about whether or not she was engaged to hockey player Pavel Bure. There were reports that she married NHL hockey star Sergei Fedorov in 2001. Kournikova's representatives have denied this, but Fedorov stated in 2003 that the couple had married and since divorced. Kournikova currently has a relationship with pop star Enrique Iglesias (in whose video, "Escape", she appeared), and rumors that the couple had secretly married appeared in 2003 and again in 2005.

Photographs of her scantily-clad form have appeared in various men's magazines, including more than one much-publicized Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue (2004 – 2005), where she posed in bikinis and swimsuits, and in other popular men's publications such as FHM and Maxim.

Kournikova was named one of People's 50 Most Beautiful People in 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2003 and was voted "hottest female athlete" and "hottest couple" (with Iglesias) on ESPN.com.

"It's true I always try to be as seductive as possible but I wouldn't be here if I couldn't play tennis." Anna Kournikova

Russian tennis player Anna Kournikova first received notice while playing in the Federation Cup at age 14 and reaching the fourth round in her first U.S. Open (1996) at age 15. Discovered by IMG Agents in the Kremlin Cup in Moscow at age 9, Anna has since won many tournaments, including the Orange Bowl and the Italian Open, as well as becoming the Junior European Champion and Junior World Champion (all in 1995). She reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon in 1997 and won her first Grand Slam title, a doubles triumph with Martina Hingis, at the Australian Open in 1999. In 2004, Anna retired from professional tennis after suffering from a chronic back injury.

Anna has lost some of her sparkle. In 2005, we watched her make a couple of television appearances with the ladies of The View. She donated her time to help with tsunami relief aid and to act as a presenter on the 2005 World Music Awards, and became the fitness advisor for Elle magazine in June. In September, she returned to the court for the Legendary Nights Tennis Classic in Ottawa, Canada. It was also in 2005 that Anna married her boyfriend, Enrique Iglesias, whom she had met on the set of his 2002 “Escape” music video. These few and random moments do not constitute the Anna Kournikova we came to know on the court, but she’s keeping busy.

As for her personality, Anna Kournikova comes across as someone with a bit of an attitude. Considering the media attention she receives worldwide, it's hard to be humble. While she looks like a wild woman, her favorite pastimes include reading, listening to music and watching TV, so she might be more low-key than she seems.

At ages 13 and 14, Kournikova made headlines in international junior tennis, winning several tournaments including the 1995 Italian open.She was 14 years old when she ended 1995 as Junior European Champion Under 18 and ITF Junior World Champion Under 18.At age 15, she reached the fourth round of the 1996 U.S. Open, only to be stopped by then-top ranked player, Steffi Graf.Kournikova was a member of the Russian delegation to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. In 1997, as a 16-year-old, she reached the semi-finals of Wimbledon, where she lost to the eventual champion, Martina Hingis by a score of 6-3, 6-2. 1998 was her breakthrough year, when she broke into the WTA's top 20 rankings for the first time and scored impressive victories over Martina Hingis, Lindsay Davenport, and Steffi Graf. Kournikova's two Grand Slam doubles titles came in 1999 and 2002, both at the Australian Open in the Women's Doubles event with partner Martina Hingis, with whom she played frequently starting in 1999.Her final playing years were marred by a string of injuries, especially back injuries, which caused her ranking to erode gradually. Kournikova has not played on the WTA tour since 2003, but still plays exhibition matches for charitable causes.In November 2005, she teamed up with Martina Hingis, playing against Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur in the WTT finals for charity. Kournikova is also a member of the Sacramento Capitals in the World Team Tennis (WTT), playing doubles only.

Anna made a return visit to World TeamTennis playing her first match of the season for the Kansas City Explorers on Tuesday, July 6 in Mamaroneck, New York where the Explorers took on the New York Sportimes. She teamed with Silvija Talaja of Croatia to play women's doubles and then David MacPherson of Australia for mixed doubles.
