Anna Sergeevna Kournikova , Anna Sergeevna Kurnikova; born June 7, 1981) is a semi-retired Russian professional tennis player and model.
Her celebrity made her one of the best known tennis players worldwide. At the
peak of her fame, fans looking for images of Kournikova made her name (or
misspellings of it) one of the most common search strings on the internet search
engine Google.
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.
Kournikova was born in Moscow in the former Soviet Union to Alla and Sergei
Kournikov; she and her mother later emigrated to the United States. Currently,
she resides in Miami Beach, Florida, and plays in occasional exhibitions and in
doubles for the St. Louis Aces of World Team Tennis.
