Anna Sergeyevna Kournikova ( Russian: Анна Сергеевна Курникова, Ánna Sergéyevna Kúrnikova; born June 7, 1981) is a tennis player and a profitable sports personality. She was born in Moscow, Russia to parents Alla and Sergei Kournikov, but currently lives in Bradenton, Florida, in the United States.Kournikova is perhaps the best known player among people who are not fans of tennis, and she is perhaps more famous for her beauty than for her tennis skills. A number of her relationships have featured prominently in the tabloid press, and photographs of her scantily-clad form have appeared in various "lad magazines," including a much publicized Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She was named one of People Magazine's 50 most beautiful people in 1998, and she had a small role (as a motel manager) in the 2000 film Me, Myself and Irene, starring Jim Carrey.
Kournikova's first Grand Slam title came in 1999 at the Australian Open in the Women's Doubles event with partner Martina HingisMartina Hingis (born September 30, 1980) is a professional tennis player from Switzerland. Born Martina Hingisova Molitor in KoSice, Czechoslovakia (now Slovakia), Hingis lived for a time in Florida but has now returned to Switzerland. She was named after. Kournikova and Hingis have frequently played as doubles partners. While consistently ranked in the top 20 in the WTA tour rankings, she has never won a professional singles tournament (though has made the semi-finals and finals of many). Her serve is notably weak for a top-level tennis player.
