Anna in Istanbul on Nov 2+3
Now we have confirmation that Anna will attend and represent KIA Motors (KIA Turkey) at the Istanbul International Auto Show. She's scheduled to make appearances on November 2nd and 3rd and she'll be present the new 2007 KIA models. Read more
Thanx to "LlewellynOfGoleta"

PERSONAL COMMENT: Kind of strange why she flew back home to Miami (Oct 27th) after she was in Europe already (Barcelona, Oct 25th) and now she flies back to Istanbul in Turkey (Nov 2nd, 3rd) and is also expected to attend a gala at Chris Evert's Pro-Celebrity Tennis Classic (Nov 4th) which takes place at Delray Beach, USA!!! Very very intense flight schedule, Anna. But in the end it's good for us Anna-fans because we hardly got to see her since the WTT season back in July.

Search Property Records / Anna's future hazy
Remember Anna's stalker who luckily didn't manage to get to her Miami-based home in January 2005???
Now, every Internet-user worldwide can get detailed informations about Anna's property in Miami!!!!!

I don't think that Anna is happy about web tools like this one and therefore, at least I won't provide any links at all!

Anna's future hazy: Apparently there's a new interview with Anna in the November/December-issue of Tennis Magazine - quote from this Interview about her future: "I'm looking and trying to see what's out there. I feel like I'm coming out of college, definitely having moments where I say, 'What am I going to do?' It is a little bit scary."
"I may say that I feel like I'm coming out of college, but actually it kind of feels like I'm in kindergarten, just starting out with everything ahead of me."

Thanx to "LlewellynOfGoleta"

PERSONAL COMMENT: Well, hopefully we'll see the FULL Tennis Magazine-Interview quite soon. Hopefully she'll announce some REAL NEWS but I kind of doubt that.
