Anna Kournikova
Leading off our run of Russian tennis players is Anna Kournikova. At 5’8 with long blonde hair, Kournikova is a blur of bright power on the clay. She holds a 209 – 129 career record with 6 career Grand Slam titles in her name. At one point she was so popular that her name was among the most searched keywords in the entire world. Kournikova has done a ton after leaving the tennis world as she’s become host of The Biggest Loser, turned into a philanthropist, and begun her focus on the “Five & Alive” program.
