Anna Kournikova has rejected rumours that she is suffering from anorexia, and offered an alternative explanation for her recent weight loss.

The former tennis player was forced to abandon her career as a professional athlete due to a back injury, and claims that giving up the intensive training has led to the change in her physique.

She told Contactmusic: "I'm naturally long, lean, and lanky. When I was playing tennis on the professional circuit, my body completely changed. For nearly 15 years, I spent six hours a day on the court."

"Now, almost three years have passed, and my body has changed again," the 25-year-old added.
