Gallery consists photos of glamorous tennis diva Anna Kournikova. The tennis court was her stage, where she simultaneously (and successfully) flirted with and stunned thousands of admirers. This Russian pinup had the power of filling up arenas when she was scheduled to play.
Anna Sergeevna Kournikova (Russian: Анна Сергеевна Ку́рникова), Anna Sergeevna Kurnikova; born June 7, 1981) is a semi-retired Russian professional tennis player and model. Although also successful in singles, reaching #8 in the world in 2000, Kournikova\'s specialty has been doubles, where she has at times been the world\'s number one-ranked player. With Martina Hingis as her partner, she won Grand Slam titles in Australia in 1999 and 2002. Kournikova\'s major-league tennis career has been curtailed for the past several years, and possibly ended, by serious back and spinal problems.
