Contrary to belief that athlete’s need to manage great gains on the field to increase endorsement dividends off the field, Anna Kournikova completely thrashes the concept of extraordinary athlete=tons of dough. See, she’s what you call a fluke: a really hot Russian tennis player who turned model, lured endorsement deals without even a single grand championship and captivated fashion icons and perverts worldwide. That means her looks are special, people. And to prove it, Maxim has released a new photo-spread of the lovely Kournikova strutting her tush on a beach and smiling at us. Provacatively. Like a long lost lover.

A look at Anna’s photo spread after the jump.

After all of those race-based posts, this is like drinking water after six straight shots of tequila.
