Thanx to "SnookY", "romania", "LlewellynOfGoleta"

"Who knows if I'll come back": This is what Anna said at the Tennis event in Memphis on February 20th...! More quotes: "That's why I would like not to make a retirement announcement. You never know. I would not come back unless I feel 100 percent, whether it's mentally or physically. All those factors have to come together for me to come back." More Quotes

PERSONAL COMMENT: Anna, do you really still consider to conduct a comeback to the Pro Tour??? I highly doubt this. The comeback-statements are more or less the same since MANY MONTHS...! Just think about what she's been doing since she left the Pro Tour more than 2 1/2 years ago...No Anna, still considering a comeback looks different.

Exhibition on May 6th: Anna confirmed to play another exhibtion - great! She'll participate in the Mercedes-Benz Gwinnett Classic which will be held at the Gwinnett Center in Northern Georgia on May 6th, 2006. Other confirmed players: Jim Courier, John McEnroe, Jana Novotna. The Mercedes-Benz Gwinnett Classic will work with VolleyFest, a charity that supports cancer research.

new Journal entry: In her latest Journal entry, "New York & Memphis" Anna talks about her experiences at the New York Adidas Y-3 Fashion Show ("Yohji Yamamoto is brilliant!") and at the charity exhibition in Memphis. In the end of the Journal entry she states that she has "a lot of things coming up in the next few months..."! No big news at all but nice to know that she keeps us informed so up-to-date since many months. Full Journal entry

Thanx to "Anna&Enrique", "martinading"

PERSONAL COMMENT: She looks so natural and lovely - wonderful. But she doesn't seem to feel comfortable being photographed these times - easy to understand.

unknown photoshooting: At photocenter.ru you can see 2 pictures from Anna at a photoshooting. Does anybody know when and where this photoshooting did take place??? Anna looks gorgeous as usual.
Thanx to "iriny"

"Alternate Beauty"-author about Anna
Andrea Rains Waggener, author of the book "Alternate Beauty" (Anna held this book in her left hand when she left a South Beach gym on November 15, 2005), received an e-mail telling her that Anna was reading her novel. The book is about  "an obese woman who finds herself in an alternate universe where fat is considered beautiful". Andrea also said: "I wouldn't have expected someone with a body like Kournikova's to be interested in the subject. Perhaps Anna Kournikova was drawn to 'Alternate Beauty' because she feels the pressure to live up to the beauty standard and perfect body image that is attributed to her."

Thanx to "romania"

PERSONAL COMMENT: Very interesting to see what the author of this novel thought when she read that even the woman with one of the most fabulous bodies in the world is reading her novel...
