Anna Kournikova

I grew up a little girl in the Soviet Union playing at a small sports club. Tennis gave me my life. ”

I've been judged my whole life. People always expected amazing things from me. ”

The world believes all blondes are stupid and brunettes are smarter. Well, I disagree. ”

I've just done a commercial in the U.S. in which I talk about stocks, shares and bonds. Everyone is amazed. They ask me: 'You really know about that stuff or did you just learn it for the commercial?' I tell them I wouldn't do it unless I understood and had an interest. ”

It's true I always try to be as seductive as possible but I wouldn't be here if I couldn't play tennis. ”

I absolutely want to have children, whether I have my own or adopt. ”
