Kirsten Dunst has long been attached to the tennis romantic comedy Wimbledon, but the actress is just starting to realize the commitment it takes to get into tennis shape. In order to convincingly play an up-and-coming tennis star, Universal is paying for Kirsten to get in shape.

Kirsten works out with a personal trainer four times a week, including cardiovascular training, weight-lifting and muscle building exercises. Her personal trainer, Kacy Duke, says that moviegoers will see a whole new Kirsten in this movie. "Kirsten had not worked out much in the past, so I was surprised by how strong she is. She's going to look better than Anna Kournikova."
