Kournikova, who has long been linked to singer Enrique Iglesias, showed up for Monday night’s World Team Tennis match with a huge diamond ring on her left ring finger — the finger normally reserved for engagement rings.
When asked the significance of the ring by The Associated Press, Kournikova replied, “I thought you were the good press.” The former Grand Slam doubles champion put her hand behind her back and did not elaborate.
Kournikova was scheduled to play for the St. Louis Aces. She will miss the season with a wrist injury, and wore a protective wrap on her left hand.
She still participated in a kid’s clinic, signed autographs and cheered on her teammates.
