Anna Kournikova: 'I feel violated'

Former tennis star Anna Kournikova has said that she often feels "violated" by the paparazzi.

The Russian sports star claimed the media attention surrounding her relationship with singer Enrique Iglesias was often intrusive.

"Girls look at him. Guys look at me," she told Sports Illustrated. "It goes with the job, but it gets annoying when you feel violated. Just take the picture and be done."

When asked about rumours surrounding cosmetic surgery, Kournikova commented: "I'm not married, not pregnant, didn't have a boob job, no Botox. What else?"

She also insisted that she isn't worried about aging, arguing that she would prefer to have life experience than perfect skin.

"Why are people afraid of getting older?" she said. "You feel wiser. You feel more mature. You feel like you know yourself better.

"You would trade that for softer skin? Not me!"
