On this day: Born June 7, 1981 - Anna Kournikova, Russian tennis player

For a tennis player who failed to win even one singles title on the WTA Tour, the frenzy surrounding Anna Kournikova's relatively short career is still unparalleled.

She earned millions from endorsements and modelling and her celebrity status grew due to her romance with pop star Enrique Iglesias, with whom she has three children. She made her debut on the WTA Tour in 1995 as a 14-year-old and the following year she went through the qualifiers to reach the fourth round of the U.S. Open in her Grand Slam debut.

Despite a barren trophy cabinet, Kournikova reached a career-high singles ranking of eight in 2000. Recurring injuries, however, forced her to retire early and she did not play on the WTA Tour after 2003. "She was a great player, a team player, and we had great times for those two years," said Hingis."She kind of was the one who started this Russian Armada - or Russian generation - along with Elena Likhovtseva.

No one cares.. she was crap at tennis

We all r getting old. Happy day to her
