Sharapova about Anna-comparisons / Anna in Paris - but no Tennis-ambitions
Interested in what Maria Sharapova has to say about all the Anna-comparison? Read this article! It mentions Anna as a "semi-retired" player and well, the writer obviously isn't an Anna-fan...
Anna in Paris - but no
Tennis-ambitions: Anna was in Paris
yesterday (possibly she's there today as well, I
don't know)! But according to the Eurosport
commentator at the match Sharapova vs Weingaertner,
Anna was in Paris to promote her new Parfum and she
only made a visit to Roland Garros to meet her
former Doubles partner Martina Hingis...! Pictures:Official Messageboard > Photos Exchange >

Thanx to "marysia5"
PERSONAL COMMENT: Seeing Maria Sharapova, who still
gets compared with Anna, playing makes me sad! Today
5 years ago (Sunday, May 31st, 1999) Anna faced
Steffi Graf in the 4th round! Anna was the "Golden
Girl" and it was such a great time with her! And
today...: no word regarding Tennis from Anna herself
- slowly but surely I think we should accept that
she doesn't come back anymore!
I think that Anna will be in Plymouth (see newspoint
below) and afterwards she will fly back to the USA
to celebrate her 23rd birthday with Enrique & her
friends!

Anna hasn't decided about comeback yet???? / Anna in Houston with Enrique? / Marriage and pregnant already?
According to tr.net a source in Anna's camp said that
HASN'T DECIDED EITHER WAY, AND ISN'T EVEN CONSIDERING THE QUESTION
if she wants to come back to the WTA Tour!PERSONAL COMMENT: Everything Anna did during the past months (following Enrique all over the globe) speaks its own language: "I don't want to play Tennis anymore"! Honestly, after such a long time out/time to recover her back problems should be healed I think! Plus: Whatever she intends to do, she should inform her fans! THIS is the one and only thing that annoys me more and more each day!
Anna in Houston with Enrique?: Well, since months
you just have to look where Enrique is and you know
where Anna is - almost 100% guaranteed!
Today Enrique will be in Houston, featuring in the
104 KRBE's 8th annual Earth Day Festival. Perhaps
Anna will be there, too!
Thanx to "euterpe03"
Marriage and
pregnant already?: First of all, that's
my one and only source up to now because I do have
to work much right now but more infos to come soon!
In
yesterday's BILD it was a big report on the last
page: Anna and Enrique married and Anna's obviously
already pregnant. Reportedly someone asked them on a
Miami beach what's the deal with the big ring on her
finger and well, Enrique said that they already
married 5 weeks ago! Furthermore it is reported that
in Los Angeles a buddy of both touched Anna's belly...!
PERSONAL COMMENT: Well, BILD is BILD but who knows!
As far as I have more time I will give you more
detailed infos but my opinion regarding this yellow
press info: Both are together for more than 2 years
right now, they were ALWAYS together in the recent
months, so, well, why not? If Anna thinks that
Enrique is the right one - she has to know that,
it's her life! But if the pregnant-rumours turn out
to be true then I think that means "Goodbye Pro
Tennis"!

Anna to start Transat Race? / little Website-Timeout
Obviously, Omega stated that Anna will start the Transat 2004 (2:00pm on May 31, 2004)! Anna reportedly will wave off the professional fleet. That will take place in the Plymouth Yacht haven (UK)! Obviously Anna's next challenge will be a sailing lesson with fellow Omega ambassador Ellen MacArthur on board an Open 50 in the morning. She'll explain to Anna what will be going through the skippers' minds as they prepare to depart.
Afterwards Anna will head for the startline aboard HMS Tyne, the Royal Navy vessel that will be moored on the official start line of the race. Anna will watch the start from there. Read more
PERSONAL COMMENT: Anything but Tennis - but I couldn't find any confirming states on omegawatches.com so perhaps this is just gossip! But well, with all the offcourt activities during the last months I don't think so!
little Website-TimeOut: First of all,
The Anna Kournikova Forever Site (AKFS) will
continue to exist! But I won't be able to update the
website until June 2nd, 2004 because of my regular
job! I just wanted to let you know so that no one
thinks that I lost interest in the website or
whatsoever!
I promise that I will continue my work on the AKFS
as soon as possible!
So before Anna turns 23 "I will be back" ;-)))
Having said that, I want to make a general statement:
I want to thank all of the numerous contributors and
fans who mail me pictures, provide me with links to
stories etc. and everybody else! Throughout the
years I found out that there are really many many
really nice persons out there and I will definitely
try to keep up with every contact that I've made.
Thanx

Hamilton update / Victorias Secrets & first pitch @ Dallas / Anna & Enrique @ concert / mansion search
Anna is not only scheduled to play an exhibition match in Hamilton on June 12th, there's also a "Birthday Ball" scheduled for June 11th - including Champagne Reception and Dinner to follow! More Details
PERSONAL COMMENT: After she cancelled Houston in April and didn't even say a word regarding not playing in China I doubt that we will see her play in Hamilton shortly after her 23rd birthday...! Nevertheless, I hope she will play!
Victorias Secrets & first pitch @ Dallas:
Well, no Tennis-news in sight :-(((!
Anna reportedly was invited by the Texas Rangers
Baseball Club to throw out the first pitch (a
strike down the middle) for their game vs Kansas City
Royals at Ameriquest Field (The Ballpark At
Arlington) in Arlington, Texas on May 18th, 2004.
She received a peck on the cheek from OF David
Dellucci.
Somehow she also did a VICTORIAS SECRETS promo for a
new bra and signed many autographs!

Thanx to "llewellyn22","mike4770"
PERSONAL COMMENT: Well, basically I just have one wish left: TALK ABOUT YOUR TENNIS PLANS, ANNA...! If you still follow such plans!
Anna & Enrique @ concert: Anna & Enrique
attended KIIS-FM's "Wango
Tango: On Air" concert in Pasadena (California) on

New Mansion instead of Exhibition / Anna & Enrique house hunting & Drive In / New Malibu Beach pictures
Having seen the pictures of Anna and Enrique at a Burger Drive In in L.A. and having read the comments regarding the search for a new multi million dollar mansion I can just say that I really dislike that.
Don't get me wrong - Anna can do whatever she wants to do! But at least a little statement on her website about her injury status and/or her further plans would be highly appreciated. That's everything!
Anna & Enrique house hunting & Drive In:
Anna and Enrique Iglesias looked at numerous multi
million dollar mansions in Malibu, Brentwood and Bel
Air during the last days and took a quick pitstop
for McDonalds takeaway. If you wanna see Anna eating
a burger very hungry go to
splashnews.com
PERSONAL COMMENT: Another multi million dollar mansion, no word regarding a comeback or anything related to TENNIS...! I think you know what I think of that!
New Malibu Beach pictures: Last year in
November, Paparazzi pictures came out showing Anna &
Enrique on Malibu beach. Whoever is interested to
see more pictures of that "event" please go to the

Anna & Enrique were in West Hollywood
Anna and Enrique were in West Hollywood, California, on May 14th! What were they doing there? They visited an art gallery! Anna was wearing a t-shirt that said "For Good Luck Rub My Tummy"...! Pictures
Thanx to "llewellyn22" for the info
PERSONAL COMMENT: Hey Anna! Why can't you tell your fans IF you play the exhibition in China or not? Make a comment about your future plans - I think your fans deserve that!

Exhibition in China? / Celebrating Enriques Birthday / Marriage to come?
Well, I don't know if Anna will play in China in 3 days. It was reported that she should play against Yang Shujing in Changsha on May 16th and one day later in Shenzhen City she should play vs Ag Ain (has anybody ever heard of these players before???)! Hopefully she will play a tennis match for the first time in 2004! Let's hope that she doesn't cancel the exhibition matches over there. IF she plays there, look where Changsha and Shenzhen City is:
Celebrating Enriques Birthday: How did Anna
and Enrique celebrate his 29th birthday a few days
ago?? Obviously, the went out for dinner to
Miami
South Beach's Steakhouse Prime 112, together
with a group of friends. A spy (yellow press again)
reported Anna was not exactly
nice to the staff. The group arrived around 11 pm
and asked to be seated in a private area, and were
the last to leave at 2 am!
Marriage to come?:
Well, the topic is not new - it came up recently
when Anna and Enrique were in Moscow and reportedly
visited Anna's grandparents. But german BILD now
claims that Anna's grandma told the munich "tz"
("Tageszeitung", means daily newspaper) that Anna
and Enrique are to get married soon!

Not at White House
Well, obviously Anna didn't attend the White House correspondents' Dinner on May 1st in Washington - I think she's still on tour with Enrique! But we will see her in New York on May 5th because of the Gillette event!
