Tennis: Kournikova tired of jet-set lifestyle

Anna Kournikova says her millionaire jet-set lifestyle is a drag.

Anna Kournikova says her millionaire jet-set lifestyle is a drag.

The tennis star says she is troubled with an identity crisis and spends so much time abroad she no longer knows where she belongs.

Kournikova, 20, told a German magazine that the nomadic life of a professional tennis player means she no longer knows where her home is.

She said: "I have houses in Moscow and Miami. I jet around the world for 11 months of the year and don't know where my home is anymore. I don't know if I am more Russian or more American."

Kournikova has taken to creating a home on the road. She said: "Things have got so bad that I take my personal things with me to every hotel - my pictures, candles and my books.

"I read mostly Russian authors like Chekov and Pushkin, at the moment I am reading Tolstoy's 'War and Peace.'"
