| Biography |
Anna Kournikova was born June 7th, 1981, in Moscow, Russia, to parents Sergei and Alla. Her father Sergei, a lecturer at the sports university in Moscow, and mother Alla, who studied science of economy in Moscow, did not encourage Anna to play tennis for the ambitious aspect and the possibility of turning pro, rather they pushed Anna to play for the health benefits of the sport.
Anna's talent for tennis was first discovered when she played at a weekly children's sports program, at the age of 5. She started to play and practice more often, in places such as the Tennis Club Sokliki Park and in the Spartak Club, despite the fact that her family was not financially well off.
While still in Moscow, Anna's first tennis coach was Larissa Preobraschenskaja, from 1985 until 1989. The budding tennis player trained and practiced while she was going to school.
