"My hair gets bleached by the sun, I've never dyed it. And I never wear make-up when I'm playing, I don't have time to even think about that." Absolutely right speech from the beauty queen of Tennis girl Anna Kournikova whose appearance now a days don’t come in front of our eyes in the Tennis Court. She is star and always star although she didn’t have any singles grand slam trophy. She was and is star for her sexy appearance in the tennis court. One of my best friend told me that Anna earned as much money from the advertisement then from the tennis court only for her sexy appearance what she got as a God gifted item.
Anna was born in Moscow, Russia on Sunday, June 7,1981. Her father Sergei Kournikov, was former Greco-Roman wrestling champion. Mother Alla was 18 when Anna was born was blonde had been a 400 meter runner. Anna was in a good environment for sport from the beginning." Anna received her first tennis racquet as a Christmas gift in 1986 at age5. Anna played her first tennis at Moscow's Soklniki Park and at age 7 1In the fall of 1991, when Anna was ten, Eugene L. Scott saw Anna play in the juniors of a tournament he had organized in Moscow. Scott told Paul Theofanous, an International Management Group agent about Anna. Theofanous started hearing from too many other people that this was one extraordinary talent and had discussions with Anna's mother Alla, Anna signed a contract with international management group agent. Within a year, Anna had won her first junior tournament, and soon drew the attention of professional tennis scouts. Anna was still 10 when she was enrolled in the IMG-owned Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Florida, in Feburary, 1992. Other famous players who have attended the Bolletieri Academy include Martina Hingis, Monica Seles, Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Mary Pierce, Pete Sampras, Jim Courier, and Andre Agassi
Career:
The tournament were sanctioned by the International Tennis Federation, not the women’s Tennis Association where Anna won 2 adult tournament titles at midland, Michigan on feb.18, 1996 & at rock ford on March 10,1996 at her age of 16. She reached the semi finals at Wimbledon and the final at Key Biscayne but never won a singles title.
Anna at Home:
Anna has a house in the Miami, Florida area, but cannot stay much time there because her tournament schedule keeps her traveling 35 to 40 weeks out of the year. Her current home is reportedly a "$5 million beach house on Sunset Island 3."
Anna’s Choice behind Tennis:
Her main interests apart from tennis are "Shopping, the beach, eating - especially chocolate." She can sometimes be seen eating chocolate during breaks between games during a match. Although Anna doesn't observe a regimented diet, but her eating is not out of control.
Anna has a dog, a miniature Doberman named "Genie". Anna says: "I love Dobermans. They look like horses, so graceful. I had one when I was little, so I love that dog."
Anna with her friends at her house can laugh and joke. With people she don't know well, she thinks maybe they want to take something from her that’s why she do feel comfort and sometimes gets shy to talk with the people.
Anna's parents, Alla and Sergei Kournikov, traveled with Anna to her tournaments (usually acting as her coaches) for most of her career. But after the Italian Open in May, 2002, they stopped this practice, possibly to eliminate any possible distraction from Anna's tennis career. Alla and Sergei are presumably spending more time in Anna's otherwise empty Florida home, or traveling to Moscow, where the last word was that Sergei was still teaching occasionally.
Very personal life:
In her personal life there were many gossips with the opposite sex what Anna always denied or regretted. In 1999, it was reported to have a relationship with Russian NHL player Sergei Fedorov, and then in 2000 with a former teammate of Fedorov's, Bure, a Florida Panthers winger who bought a condominium in Portofino Tower (the same apartment building Anna was living in) later told reporters that he was engaged to her. This did not turn out to be true, or the engagement fell through. In Feburary, 2001, Anna was reported to be seeing Federov again. Then, in July of that year while Anna was recovering from a stress fracture of her left foot, the British tabloid Evening Standard reported that anna had got married to Sergei Federov. Anna's father Sergei Kournikova immidiately denied the story, saying: "Anna is in Florida at the moment and has begun training. I think she would be very surprised to hear about this latest rumor." Later, Anna also issued a statement that she was definitely not married, saying: "Those are just false rumours.

The British tabloids make stuff up". In early March 2003, in an interview in The Hocky News magazine, Fedorov stated that he and Anna Kournikova were married for a short time. Fedorov said: "We were married, albeit brief, and we are now divorced." He also said that they no longer keep in touch. Fedorov's mother told reporters in July, 2001 that the two had been married in a Moscow registry office. It seems likely that the marriage was very short, or that someone is just trying to sell magazines. If the story is true, it seems very strange that reporters don't simply look it up in the records of Moscow marriage licenses (or certificates of divorce, for that matter).
Asked about the story at a post-match interview in Key Biscayne on March 20, 2003, Anna said: "I've always said that it's not something that I want to get into and it's not something that I want to talk about, my personal and private life... I understand that it's your job to write, I don't want to make it difficult for anybody, but I really don't want to talk about it. That's the way it is.") Unfortunately, once a paper (even one known for inventing stories to get attention, like the Evening Standard and the current Pravda) prints a story, other papers pick it up and spread it everywhere. And if Anna is seen to be friendly with any male, the press is eager to make a story out of it any way they can, as they did early in 2001 when she was seen with Australian ATP player Mark phillippous. And then, of course, there was the 2002 ruckus about topless photos allegedly of Anna, which turned out to be of someone else entirely. If you see claims of topless, nude, or pornographic photos of Anna anywhere, you can be sure they are fake. Her 2001 poster photos (taken in Acapulco when Anna was recovering from her stress fracture) are as racy as it gets, but Anna looks so good fully clothed and smiling that she doesn't need to make any special effort to attract male attention.
Most recently, the tabloids (and the wire services and papers that echo what they print) have claimed that Anna is deeply involved with Miami-based pop singer Enrique Iglesias. What does Anna say about Iglesias? "I made a video with him because the record company asked me to. I turned up for the shoot in LA and it was fun... That kiss in the video is what started all the rumours. There is absolutely no truth in them. I'm only 21, I'm not thinking about the future or settling down. And don't even talk to me about having children. I'm just concentrating on being a better tennis player."8 Because of this kind of "journalism", Anna resists and resents efforts by the press to pry to deeply into her personal life. But she has made some general statements about men in magazine interviews.
HOW YOU or HE COULD BE FOR ANNA:
It's better to hear form her self speech what she stated about her choiceable person in her life.
Anna has said that she has time for a man in her life, but "...he would have to be understanding. He would have to understand that often I will be traveling and playing." When Anna is asked what she looks for in a man, she says: "...he just has to be himself. It has to come naturally... You can't wish for something specific, because you might get that and be disappointed. You just have to feel it." On another occasion, she said: "Honesty, strength, blond - oh no, then all the boys will dye their hair. He just has to be gentle but strong, with a big heart. He has to know what it takes, how hard it is to succeed." And in another interview, she put it this way: "He has to be happy, have a good heart, and understand what it takes to work. And be honest, of course."
