When Anna Kournikova first stepped on to the international tennis stage in 1998, she quickly gained pin-up status thanks to her womanly curves. Following a period out of the game due to injury, the Russian beauty returned to the scene three years ago cutting a skinnier, athletic frame, much to the disdain of her male fans. Just four months after showing off her tiny figure at a triathlon in Florida, it appears the 27-year-old has regained the stunning figure that she was famous for.
Showing front in the front row: Anna Kournikova is back to her curvier figure again after cutting a skinnier figure over the last few years The blonde was clearly proud of her shapely figure as she stepped out in a white mini skirt and plunging black camisole at the Red Carter swimwear fashion show for Miami Fashion Week at the Raleigh Hotel. The tennis star, who lives in the sunshine state with boyfriend Enrique Iglesias, had a front row seat at the show, which gave her opportunity to ogle some hunky male models. Earlier that day, Kournikova helped the St Louis Aces' tennis team beat the Springfield Lasers at the Dwight Davis Tennis Center in Forest Park, Missouri. Although she has not officially retired, Kournikova has been largely missing from the international tennis scene since 2003 after injuring her back and foot.
Strike a pose: A curvier Anna poses before the fashion show In recent years she has been devoting her energies to charity tennis matches, modelling and sport education. Her super skinny appearance at a charity match several years ago hit the headlines and the tennis star was forced to defend her weight loss, insisting it was training to get back in the shape which had resulted in her tinier frame. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated magazine, Kournikova hit back at a series of press rumours regarding her romance with Iglesias and body shape. She said: 'I’m not married, not pregnant, didn’t have a boob job, no Botox. What else? 'I’m a different person!. People say, "I can’t believe how much you’ve changed." What did they expect? People grow, evolve. It would be sad if I didn’t change!'
