Anna Kournikova
Tennis Player
Anna Kournikova played in the Federation Cup at age 14 and won her first professional title at 15. Her good looks and signature braided blonde ponytail made her a fan favorite and eventually an offcourt star;
People magazine named her one of the "50 Most Beautiful People" of 1998. In 1999 she won her first Grand Slam title, a doubles victory with
Martina Hingis at the Australian Open. In 2000 the Web portal Lycos named her the Internet's mostsearched athlete. In December 2004 it was widely reported, but not confirmed, that Kournikova had married pop singer Enrique Iglesias in Mexico.
