[simmytbone]

Hey guys,

Russian-American Tennis Hottie Anna Sergeyevna Kournikova Celebrates her 30th Birthday Today

Born in Moscow, Russia and standing 5'8", Anna is a Professional Tennis Player who now is a Russian-American citizen

Her beauty and celebrity status made her one of the best known tennis players worldwide and @ the peak of her fame, fans looking for images of Kournikova made her name one of the most common search strings on the Internet search engine Google

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 and 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"

Kournikova's professional tennis career has been curtailed for the past several years, and possibly ended, by serious back and spinal problems

She resides in Miami Beach, FL and plays in occasional exhibitions and in doubles for the St. Louis Aces of World Team Tennis

and today, she is now the new trainer for the NBC Reality TV Series The Biggest Loser replacing Jillian Michaels

Anna Kournikova: Tennis Hottie Celebrates 30th Birthday on Tuesday
By Ethan Norof (Featured Columnist) on June 6, 2011

Anna Kournikova doesn't look a day past 25.

We want to wish Anna Kournikova a very happy 30th birthday today, and there's no doubt that she's going to celebrate it in style.

After the news that broke a couple of weeks ago that Kournikova would be replacing Jillian Michaels on "The Biggest Loser", she looks primed to make a grand re-entry into the public domain.

According to US Magazine, it shouldn't bee too much of a stretch for the former tennis player, as she's already somewhat familiar with the setup.

"Kournikova's full-time gig is not her first time on the Biggest Loser ranch. In 2010, she coached contestants in a tennis-themed challenge."

Kournikova is definitely one of the hottest female athletes still making waves, but does she rank no. 1? Let's take a look.

Natalie Gulbis: It's time for the women of the golf world to get some love, and one look at Natalie Gulbis will get everyone to understand exactly why she's long overdue for some increased attention.

Danica Patrick: There's a reason that GoDaddy has built their domain off of her presence, and combining her looks with fuel exhaust might be enough to start almost every man's engine.

Maria Sharapova: This should be rather obvious considering she was basically the second coming of Kournikova on the tennis court, except she's way more talented than her predecessor.

To me, Kournikova slots in ahead of both Patrick and Sharapova, but there's just no way she can get ahead of Gulbis in my book.
