Anna about her comeback time plans:
"However, I'm hoping to be
fully fit by March next year."
"I hope I can play some
time next year," she said. "But till that time I have to deal with it. But
when I return I want to play singles as well as doubles."
"Hopefully I will return to the court by next March. But I will surely
miss the Australian Open in January 2004."
Anna about her trip to India:
"It is been a very
fascinating experience for me and I have enjoyed the hospitality of the
Indians and their culture has really interested me."
"I had heard so much about this place, I agreed to come as it is an
exciting destination and I also had some free time."
Why still no Singles title on the WTA Tour?:
"There were all sorts of
circumstances for me not to have won a singles WTA title so far."
"Initially, I was inexperienced and now I am injured but I am sure things
will work out for me in near future," she said adding "I've always been a
tennis player and never a full time model."
"There were all kinds of
circumstances. I was too young when I started, then injuries happened. I
was playing big players. Sometimes I just lost. These things happen."
What did she do in India during her
4-day-trip?:
"Many things. I
slept, rested, ate and did some work."
More famous celebrity than a tennis player?:
"I have always been
a tennis player, never a model. I do the other thing because of modelling."
"I never intended it to be this way. It happened, so it happened. I am a
person first, a tennis player second, and then a model."
More American than Russian?:
"But, above all that,
I am a global person. I am never in one place for more than a month. Not
even at home [in Florida]."
