There is more substance to her than just the lawn tennis skills and yes you guessed it right that her drop dead phenomenon looks and figure are making more news and turn on the flashes of the camera just to get a snap of her. Anna is an icon and perhaps one of the most photographed sensational beauty in the sports world.



She has been adored like the Goddess because of her gorgeous face. Miss Kournikova, I dared to call her “Miss” with a great hope that she is a “Miss” as the rumor mills are churning so many awkward news about her link up Payel Bure and romance with pop star Enrique Iglesias, that really don't bother any of us, however, rumor of her secret marriage (with hockey player Sergei Fedoroy) do pinches the tongue wagging male who literally drools over her rotundity.

Anna Kournikova is the crowd pulling beauty and tickets of her matches sells like hot cake, no matter she go to play in Sao Paulo or New York or Tokyo. I still remember when she was called by the Sahara Groups of Companies in India to visit and promote the Amby Valley, some 100 kilometers away from Mumbai and she dressed in the sky blue sari and a without sleeves blouse and I could not sleep whole night and wondering about her in my dream and next day I just kept the cutting of her in my closet but my maid out of jealous thrown it out one day and I am very sad with the lost of my perfect woman's photo. But then this world wide web has been so kind that I got many of her photo and my eyes just stick to it and that's how relieve my uncanny quench for a her glimpse.

In India this has been a practice to show respect, that if a person bends in front of you to show respect than other should also bend with equal ease to show courtesy and respect to that person. But western world is equally showing this respect to this pulchritude which was beyond my understanding has now come to forefront. Thanks to her short skirt as she bend to tie the laces of her shoe or to pick up the ball from the tennis court, crowd just to have a look at her hidden treasures.

Tennis world has seen many beauties with playing skills but all of these beauties have proved very small in stature in terms of popularity because for her oomph factor. At the same time Anna also accept this fact that she is beautiful, famous and gorgeous. She has single handedly popularized the woman tennis and yet she is very humble. Anna's golden lock and bronze body made the public go brouhaha and one of the wildest comment she has received from an ardent admirer of her is to forget about tennis for good, and practices your grunting, panting and sweating while making some "love" with us.

Anna is like a model day in and day out and never disappoints paparazzi who never shut the lens of there camera if Anna is walking the street as her dressing sense is widely acclaimed for being “tight” oops fit, like her jeans, tank tops, T-shirt and off course her tennis outfit. However w can stare at her but I thing can't afford her as Ms Kournikova has declared herself as the menu of the expensive restaurant, which can be seen but that out of reach in terms of affordability.

But then Anna where comes the affordability of Goddess. We all know that we can look at you devotedly without even thinking of you enhancing the beauty of our living rooms.

Well one can go on and one describing on and on about her beauty but let me tell you more about Anna which I know you must be anxious to know.Reading books, watching TV, listening to music and dancing find places as hobbies, if she is not walking ramp and staying in the tennis court to show her tanned skin. She has the craze for the Mega Cities and why her favorite cities list includes the name of Rome, Paris, London, New York and Tokyo.

She loves animals, art, fashion and beaches. It is juxtaposition that though she loves to play in the city of Melbourne her favorite tournament is Wimbledon. She knows that black brings out more beauty of her that why she is devoted to black colour. She goes gaga over Steak, sushi and Chocolate. At the same time very sparing in the drinking habit and quench her thirst with the orange juice.

She adores Madonna, Elton John and Bush for listening to music and her favorite TV shows are Jay Leno, “Melrose Place” and “Friends”. Sit-ups are the best training exercise for her and best way to motivate her to training technique is chocolate ice cream, because then she has to play it hard to burn the extra calories. Other sports which she likes are Golf, Hockey and Basketball.

Anna lives in Miami, Florida, USA and was born in 7 June 1981 in Moscow, Russia to Sergei and Alla Kournikova. They knew that their daughter will going to change their life but they were almost unknown to this fact that she would revolutionize the tennis world. However, both her parents were athletes so from childhood days she was also attracted towards sports. She was playing tennis not for becoming any professional but to keep herself fit. Her childhood days were a little bit changed from that of normal child but still she got time to play around with friends, watching TV and going to amusement parks.

However, an incident changed her life forever; when she was present a tennis racquet by her parent. Later on when she came to know about this fact that her parents have sold of one of there TV sets to buy this racquet she never put the racquet down. Soon she started hitting the racquet at soklniki park and became the member of prestigious Spartak Tennis Club and coached by the husband of the Russian pro Olga Morozova. At the age of Eight from the sheer stint of skills brought her to lime light and she was noticed by the local scouts. From then there has been no stopping. With the advent of the ATP in the Russia in 1990, she got more opportunities.

She was one of highly paid tennis stars for the endorsements upto $10 millions for Omega watches, Berlei lingerie, Lycos, and sports equipment company Yonex, however, she never won any grand slam, though she has reached the fourth round of the US open in 1996 her first grand slam and semi of Wimbledon in 97.
