Kuznetsova talks up athletes at Miami's Muscle Beach

Miami Beach is known for a few things; sun, surf, and Muscle Beach. World No. 7 Svetlana Kuznetsova brought her team to the famous outdoor gym, and sent them right to work. They flipped tires and showed off as the Russian interviewed other athletes on the beach.

She was a natural, asking thoughtful questions and even giving her autograph to one interviewee despite him not knowing her name.

"I always thought it's so interesting, for me it was, because I wanted to see Miami Beach, all these beautiful guys working out, I was wondering what was the motivation?" Kuznetsova said.

Unfortunately, the Russian couldn't translate the spirit of Muscle Beach to the Miami Open, falling to Venus Williams in the fourth round, 3-6, 6-7 (4), and then losing in the doubles quarterfinals.
