This summer the NY Buzz will welcome back to Schenectady one of the most popular female athletes of our time, Anna Kournikova, who will join her St. Aces for a visit against the Buzz on Tuesday, July 22. Kournikova last visted the Buzz in 2006 as a member of the Aces.

Named among People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People four times, Kournikova still graces the covers of magazines and remains in the public spotlight.

Before retiring due to a bad back in 2003, Kournikova reached a singles career high ranking of No. 8 in 2000, and she notched wins over Jennifer Capriati, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, Monica Seles, Lindsay Davenport, Martina Hingis and Steffi Graf. She also reached the semifinals in singles at Wimbledon in 1997 and the quarterfinals at the 2001 Australian Open, and she finished runner-up at four other WTA events.

Kournikova found her most success in doubles, attaining the No. 1 ranking behind 16 career doubles titles including victories at the 1999 and 2002 Australian Open (both with Martina Hingis).
