Anna Kournikova Update
July 22nd, 2010 by Rian | Filed under Anna Kournikova, Skinny Celebrities.We haven’t seen Anna Kournikova around here in a while! Here are some new pictures of her holding a clinic with a local Boys and Girls Club of America before her press conference for Washington Kastles earlier today in Washington DC…

She seems to be very skinny for somebody who is a professional athlete. It also looks strange, because she has a rather round face. She could definitely use a couple pounds more!
First!!
it’s hard to tell, but to me she looks very thin and frail under that sweat suit…her face is really changing as she ages, and not for the good…very chipmunky…or it could be the effect of her low weight?!
She is not a pro player anymore. She’s been off the tour for years.
Her face is still unfortunate. She has virtually no chin to speak of which makes the rest of her (round) face look even more circular.
Great body though.
Her body looks great but her face looks puffy……
Um, she just played Wimbledon last month.
She looks thin and frail to me too.
Anna has a round face, but she always has and it is her face shape. However, her body seems really slim-maybe too much so (not sure since the clothing).
Ew. I thought this woman use to have a curvy body?
Not at all the bomshell blonde she used to be. Her body used to be strong and powerful and stacked with muscle…Now, she’s frail and shapeless.
It looks like she’s lost weight again. I think she’s cute.
shes really thin, it makes her face look huge.
i think she looks bulimic .. round face and skinny body, come on?!
She looks the same.
she ain’t getting much attention lately. that’s why she’s so freakin’ thin. all you have 2 do theese days to go from “has-been” to “in” again. Sad. She looks really bad. Totally anorexic.
Her body looks very thin – even in an all white outfit- but her face is odd, It’s very round.. almost swollen looking.
Her body looks exactly the scary skinny same. Its her face thats different. Wayyy too much filler and botox. Very Katie Price ish. I wish women would understand that filler only makes their faces look super shiny and water filled-Circa the above pictures.
uh, she’s bulimic, hence the puffy face. isn’t that common knowledge?
Gosh, poor girl. I don’t think she’s well at all. She is such a beautiful talented person. I hope she gets well soon!
Her face is so round! If she didn’t have a chipmunk face I don’t think her body would look so frail.
Her face is larger than I have ever seen it. That, coupled with her low weight is troubling.
She was perfect during her Enrique days… more muscular and slightly curvier!
I’d also like to note that she’s wearing pants and full sleeves. In Washington D.C. In the summer. On a day where the high is 95.
Too skinny, she even looks slightly scrawny in all white.
@wannabee
I think you must be thinking of someone else. Anna Kournikova was most definitely not competing in Wimbledon this year and has been off the professional circuit for a few years now.
Weird. I used to think she was sort of pretty, but her face looks so bloated now, I wonder what is up with that?…Really skinny too.
She’s looking mighty frail again.
@wannabee – correct, she did play doubles at Wimbledon on 2010 w/Hingis. Her first in 8 years. I guess what I meant to say is that she is not a formidable, professional singles player as she once was.
Playing a pro doubles event once in a 8 year stretch does not a tennis professional make. I also retired from the WTA (in ‘05) – she is not a fixture on the tour by any means.
It is kind of stretching it to say she played Wimbledon. The biggest event for women, is the singles championships, won by Serena again this year. They have a doubles tournament, but that is not what she played. She played in something called the legends doubles tournament with Martina Hingis. She still plays world team tennis each summer, but she retired from the wta and the serious professional events 7 years ago.
I think some more interesting players bodywise are the Williams sisters, Sharapova, Maria Kirilinko, Jankovic, and many others. They are certainly more serious about tennis, but I guess the reason to post Kournikova is she remains famous, and seems to have body issues. Look her up in wikipedia–her 2002 photo is really good.
Long sleeves and long pants??? It’s like 95 degrees in DC!!!
underweight – especially for an athlete. runway model, maybe.
Chipmunk Cheeks can be the result of bulimia, I really hope thats not the reason behind Annas ultra thin appearance and swollen face
As a tennis player, she’s a joke. She’s no serious tennis player. These pics are laughable.
@Loui
…i think the same…
Fiercee, her “Enrique Days”? Isn’t she still with him? I never know what’s going on.
I don’t want to say anything negative, i really don’t; but what is going on with her face, why is it so bloated?
Yup, totally agree with Loui; Ed suffer for sure.
@ Lola: I´m bulimic and I don´t have a puffy face, not at all.
She looks very, very bulimic. Or, not necessarily bulimic, but definitely dealing with a purging disorder.
why don’t we ever see londoncalling on here anymore?
She doesn´t look like an athlete at all-atrophic muscles everywhere. And I would also consider ED.
My computer cut out so I’m going to try again. Think that she is looking awfully thin (especially dressed in ALL WHITE w/long sleeves and long pants on)! White does tend to add a couple lbs. She must be very very, very skinny underneath this white outfit. Her face has always been somewhat round even when she is thin. She’d gained a few lbs awhile back & looked thin but not too skinny. Now she’s on her way (back) to too skinny territory (IMHO)!
I must admit I didn’t know about this facial issue… Somehow I’m even glad now not to know everything about any ed, and not to know/see too many people with eds… It seems to be an everyday phenomenon where you live – I guess in my personal environment, nobody could tell the connection betw. bloated face and ed.
I feel very sorry for her. How tragical is that, I know so many men who adored her for her looks – it’s just crazy…. So senseless and sad.
I forgot to ask what you consider to be the reason for those clothes – sorry for that dumb question, but I can’t put myself in an ed mind – does she want to hide her skinniness?
@Cecilia – common knowledge that she’s struggled/ing w/ bulimia. not that all bulimics get the chipmunk cheeks (guess you’re lucky on that one)
She looks great! I especially adore her looks…
I don’t understand what is wrong with people having different faces. Some people have round faces. It seems to be common with her ethnicity, I think her face is very cute actually.
If she´s wearing white pants and long sleeves sweater and we all can notice how thin and sick she looks, imagine how would it be if she was wearing regular tennis’ outfit (short skirt and tight top). Is it really so hard for everyone else to realize why she´s doing it?
I think she has an ED for sure. Her hair looks awful – thin and breaking off and lifeless — and that’s usually a dead giveaway. Naturally thin people have normal hair. Not to mention, her pants are so loose on her — and when she bought them they were probably skintight.
It’s sad to see athletes this way. It’s bound to catch up with their performance at some point and can potentially ruin their career.
she always has had a round face, but it seems rounder, which considering her low weight and the fact that she is almost 30, (r might be 30 now?) I find unusual. I have a round face but when i lose weight it does get thinnner, not as much as i would like, but thats more to do with bone structure. it has also gotten a bit better with age, which is why i find it odd that she has put on weight there. I don’t know enough about ed to make a comment about that being the cause, just saying it is unusual.
You’d think an athlete would have more muscle.
She’s a pretty girl, but for some reason her head reminds me of an onion?
She lost her athletic body a long time ago and is still so stick thin. Funny though how she still has the same chubby chipmunk cheeks.
she still plays tennis??
she look very pretty
I’m glad she’s still playing but the roundness of her face makes me wonder: that kind of appearance is usual for bulimics (I know a lot of them, it is very easy to recognize one).
@Priscilla – from the point of view of someone who has struggled with eating issues… if she does in fact have an eating disorder then the reasons for the cover-up clothes might be threefold:
1. When you’re underweight and not eating/bingeing and purging your body temperature gets very low, she might actually be cold despite the warm weather.
2. She might want to cover up her weight loss so as not to cause too much attention/shock.
3. She might even think she’s too fat to show her body. A large part of an ED can be distorted body image.
I really hope she’s okay. She does look very frail.
face is very unfortunate, i don’t know what all that hype about her was about a few years back. good body…surprisingly really skinny though
how can you tell anything? i cant see her body under all those clothes!! She looks tall and thin to me but not too thin.
I don’t think she’s changed actually. She’s been that thin for a while. I saw her on a UK show the other day and she was very funny and very down to earth. Lovely girl.
@ Nay – no, sorry, I don’t get it because it’s not rational, it’s paradox. If she finds herself too skinny, why is she still bulimic. I know that’s far too simplified, but as a healthy person I can’t figure out the connections and reasons. If you can, good for you.
She’s even skinnier than the kids in the photos.
her face is swollen looking, while her body is stick-like. not healthy looking.
It’s hard for me to tell if she’s too skinny, because she looked fine in the last post. It’s easy for tall women to look really lanky, even in all white…I feel her pain when it comes to the round face. I have a moon face too, but not quite as rounds as hers. I’ve also noticed in some pics that she has a weak chin. I have the same thing, bleh. I envy people with angular faces and defined features. To be positive though, it might help with aging.
oh gosh she’s back on the skinny side what a pity!
when I saw her playing wimbledon last month she didn’t look extremely thin or unhealthy as she does in these pics
just hope she gets better!
shit, she has problems i think :[
100% bulimic!
That last picture is not flattering at all. Actually, I don’t think any picture is. What happened to her sporty body?
@ Priscilla
That’s why they call it distorted/disordered thinking. I’m very glad you don’t understand it though
blah.
Bulimia? her face looks very bloated.
I never knew puffy face + skinny body = bulimic. Do you think Renee Zeleweger is? She has a totally puffy face.
wow this is sad. agree that she looks bulimic. i think she naturally has a fuller face, but we’ve seen her before and it looks nothing like this. Why would her face get bigger as her body gets smaller? and she’s way too young to use filler, i’m sure that’s not it!
i hope she gets it under control!
face looks extremely bloated
I’ve known people in my life who were naturally very thin, but if you just saw a picture of their face, you’d never know it, because the face had a round shape. I think one very true indicator of an ED, is indeed, the weak, fragile hair. The VS models are thin, but they all have thick, gorgeous hair and nice eyes. People who are sick, have “that look” to them, and you just know. I think Anna, unfortunately, falls into the latter category.
