Anna Kournikova
Anna Sergeyevna Kournikova (born June 7, 1981, in Moscow, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union) is a Russian professional tennis player. Her beauty and celebrity status made her one of the best known tennis players worldwide. She is also the newest trainer on the reality show the 'Biggest Loser.'
About Anna Kournikova
She started gaining world attention at the age of nine when she began winning junior tennis tournaments. At age 10 she was already signed by an agent and moved to Florida to train with the well-known tennis coach Nick Bollettieri.
In 1995, Kournikova turned pro, and won two ITF titles that same year. She reached Wimbledon and was the second woman, after Chris Evert, to reach the Wimbledon semi finals in her career debut during the Open Era.
Although reaching No. 8 in the world in 2000, she never won a WTA Title in singles. Kournikova's forte has been doubles, where she has at times been the World No. 1 player. With Martina Hingis as her partner, she won Grand Slam titles in Australia in 1999 and 2002. Based on their looks, Hingis and Kournikova referred to themselves as the Spice Girls of Tennis.
Her professional tennis career has been curtailed for the past several years, and possibly ended, by serious back and spinal problems.
On the May 24, 2011 season finale of 'The Biggest Loser,' Anna Kournikova was revealed as the reality show's new personal trainer to replace Jillian Michaels. Kournikova also appeared on the October 6, 2010 episode of 'The Biggest Loser,' in which she gave contestants a private tennis lesson.
