Ex-tennis star Anna Kournikova: Fans in concern

The first public reunion with ex-tennis star Anna Kournikova (43) has been causing great concern among her fans for over two years. The former world ranking night was sighted in a wheelchair in a luxurious Bal Harbor shopping center in Miami on Saturday.

The Russian -born, who has been in a relationship with Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias (49) for over 20 years, wore an orthopedic support shoe on the foot, which indicates a recently suffered injury. , show the otherwise stylish Kournikova unusually casual in a black jogging suit, with sunglasses and a loose bun. At their side, their daughters Lucy (7) and Mary (4) can be seen as well as some friends.

After her early end of career in May 2003 – at the age of only 21, she had to give up the tennis racket due to back problems – Kournikova largely withdrawn from the public. During her active time, she celebrated great success, especially in doubles, and she won the Australian Open 1999 alongside the Swiss tennis player Martina Hingis (44).

However, Anna Kournikova found her greatest luck away from the court. She has been with the Spanish musician Enrique Iglesias since 2001, which she met while shooting his music video for the song “Escape” (2001). The couple has three children together – the twins Lucy and Nicholas as well as daughter Mary. It is still speculated about her relationship status: Iglesias once denied a wedding, then he again speaks of Kournikova as his “wife”.

The singer regularly gives private insights into their family life in Miami. “I enjoy spending time with the children at home, bringing them to school and seeing them grow up,” he revealed recently at a award ceremony. “They grow so quickly. I want to enjoy it at any moment.”

It has not yet been known whether and how long Anna Kournikova will be dependent on the wheelchair. The fans hope for a soon recovery of the former athlete.
