Anna Kournikova says she has a new outlook on life since retiring from tennis and is proud of her achievements in the sport
Thirty minutes later than arranged, we said hello, with Kournikova dressed in the Miami South Beach uniform of trousers, top, tan, and Gucci sunglasses holding back the blonde hair.
I apologised for being late, explaining that an earlier meeting had overrun. "Thank you for fitting this into your day," Kournikova said cheerfully.
To think that there used to be a stage, around the time that Anna K was describing herself as "beautiful, famous and gorgeous", when she would be late as she pleased, and certainly would not have waited for anyone beyond a minute or so. But perhaps, in 2009, this is the real Kournikova emerging.
