Former tennis star Anna Kournikova has defended her dramatic weight loss, insisting she isn't suffering from an eating disorder.
Since leaving the Women's Tennis Association circuit because of a back injury, the 25 year old star has lost the voluptuous figure which once graced magazine covers worldwide.
Kournikova says her loss of bulk is down to her lack of tennis and says she is not starving herself.
She says, "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."
