Anna Sergeyevna Kournikova; born 7 June 1981 is a semi-retired Russian professional tennis player and model. Her celebrity status made her one of the best known tennis players worldwide. At 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.

Kournikova was born in Moscow in the former Soviet Union to Alla and Sergei Kournikov; she and her mother later emigrated to the United States. Currently, she resides in Miami Beach, Florida, and plays in occasional exhibitions and in doubles for the St. Louis Aces of World Team Tennis. Kournikova's two Grand Slam doubles titles came in 1999 and 2002, both at the Australian Open in the Women's Doubles event with partner Martina Hingis, with whom she played frequently starting in 1999. Kournikova proved a successful doubles player on the professional circuit, winning 16 tournament doubles titles, including two Australian Opens and being a finalist in mixed doubles at the U.S. Open and at Wimbledon, and reaching the No.1 ranking in doubles in the Women's Tennis Association tour rankings.

Kournikova's marital status has been an issue on several occasions. She married NHL ice hockey star Sergei Fedorov in 2001. Fedorov stated that the couple had married and divorced. Kournikova started dating pop star Enrique Iglesias in late 2001. In June 2008, Iglesias told the Daily Star that he had married Kournikova the previous year.
