The anniversary issue titled “Girls who conquered the world” included Kournikova in their top list dubbing her the ‘sexiest Russian tennis player’.

“To celebrate our 25th anniversary the tennis player gave an exclusive interview for our special issue, detailing her life after giving birth to her kids,” Cosmopolitan said.

The retired athlete, who failed to win a single individual title during her entire tennis career, has always been admired for her appearance rather than on-court achievements.

In December 2017, Kournikova and the Spanish pop-star Enrique Iglesias, who have been dating since 2001, welcomed their twins Nicholas and Lucy.

Before starting her relationship with Iglesias, she was rumored to have dated Russian hockey idols Sergei Fedorov and Pavel Bure.
