Glamorous tennis star Anna Kournikova brings attention
to the women's professional tour in the same way that Tiger Woods does to
golf. |
With her raucous young following,
Anna brings a new generation of fans to what was becoming a stodgy old sport.
Though some of the old guard and many of her competitors don't like it, it
is necessary for the sport to survive and grow. Born in Moscow, she now lives
in Miami, Florida.
