Anna Kournikova
Anna Sergeyevna Kournikova (born June 7, 1981) is a Russian professional tennis player. Her beauty and 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 Google. Although reaching No. 8 in the world in 2000, she never won a WTA Title in singles. Kournikova's forte has been doubles, where she has at times been the World No. 1 player. With Martina Hingis as her partner, she won Grand Slam titles in Australia in 1999 and 2002. Based on their looks, Hingis and Kournikova referred to themselves as the "Spice Girls of Tennis". Kournikova's professional tennis career has been curtailed for the past several years, and possibly ended, by serious back and spinal problems. She resides in Miami Beach, Florida, and plays in occasional exhibitions and in doubles for the St. Louis Aces of World Team Tennis. She currently is the new trainer, replacing Jillian Michaels, on the television show The Biggest Loser.

Anna Kournikova & Jonathan Roberts
Week 1: Quickstep: I Wanna Be Like You - Louis Prima: 22
Anna's Journey
Viewers hoped for the best with Kournikova, but were getting the feeling that she would not live up to expectations. Parts of the media also gave some of the bad credit to Jonathan, Anna's partner, who almost always does poorly on DWTS. Anna told reporters that they will prevail.
In Week 1, Anna and Jonathan danced a Quickstep to "I Wanna Be Like You" by Louis Prima. The judges criticized it, with Judge Carrie Ann Inaba saying it was shrill. The judges awarded it with a 22 out of 40 for the night, landing them in a tie for sixth place for the night, tied with Eminem. During the result show, it was revealed that Anna and Jonathan had landed in the bottom-two with actress Debra Jo Rupp and her partner (Louis van Amstel). In the end, it was Anna who was the first woman eliminated from the show.
