Unknownn: The Russian evolution With three Grand Slam victories and eight players ranked in the top 20, Russian women have put the days of Kournikova behind them She did not look well, and she did not look as if she was having fun. No, watching Anna Kournikova frown, pick at her racket, limp to the service line and, ultimately, withdraw from her 2003 Family Circle Cup match against Conchita Martinez brought no joy to the common tennis fan on that rainy, windy afternoon. For her comrades on the Women’s Tennis Association Tour, the gradual fall of Russia’s brightest star was another example of that country’s inability to produce an enduring top-10 talent. Kournikova played two more tour events before slipping quietly off the stage. “So many young ones come up through Russia,” said Iva Majoli, who at the time was the Family Circle Cup’s defending champion. “But there’s always something about them, some flaw. It looks like it’s hard for them to stay on top once they get there.” No more. http://www.thestate.com/m...state/sports/11357324.htm

Unknownn: Ever since a certain Anna Kournikova burst onto the scene some years back, there have been plenty of imitators, both on and off the court, but none have been able to match her in terms of appeal to the general masses - until now. It was a dream come true for every girl alike, beating one of the best in the world to become Wimbledon champion and instantly becoming the person every guy on the streets wants to date. But even for a self-professed fan like me, I wasn’t all too convinced I-play could pull it off with Maria Sharapova Tennis. But after spending some time with the title, I have got to admit, Maria Sharapova Tennis is quite simply the most well-rounded, feature-rich game of tennis on the mobile scene. Combining a smooth learning-curve with an equally impressive gameplay mechanism plus added incentives - lots of unlockable pictures of the tennis star awaits you; this is quite simply one of the best mobile titles I have ever laid my hands on. http://www.experiencegami...ntent.html/contentID=4471
cman: Celebrity Gossip Q. I read somewhere that tennis beauty Maria Sharapova is joining the cast of Desperate Housewives. Is that true? - M.J. A. No - that would leave no time for the 18-year-old, who won Wimbledon last year, to compete on the international circuit. It is true that the show’s producers offered her a guest-starring role on one of the coming episodes. There’s no word yet on whether she’ll say yes. Q. Is there going to be another season of The Simple Life? I read somewhere that Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are no longer speaking. - K.P. A. It is true that the two former best friends have had a serious falling out, which makes future TV adventures for them unlikely ... http://www.journalnow.com...t!general&s=1037645508970

cman: Girl not glamour for low-profile Russians Paris: Maria Sharapova and Anna Kournikova may have grabbed the headlines and the money, but Nadia Petrova and Elena Likhovtseva insist there's grit as well as well as glamour in Russian tennis. The unheralded duo are one match away from setting up a second successive all-Russian French Open women's final at Roland Garros but both prefer to be recognised for their physical abilities on the court and not their earning capacity off it. http://sify.com/sports/tennis/fullstory.php?id=13814397
cman: Myskina looking for change of fortune After a turbulent start to 2005, Anastasia Myskina manages to retain a sense of humour as she looks to get back to form on grass.

cman: Teenage rampage Czech Nicole Vaidisova is among a cluster of players who are young, gifted and ready to take Wimbledon by storm, writes Barry Flatman A young girl from eastern Europe, blessed with athleticism and physical powers beyond her years, shows such immense promise with a racket that she is offered the opportunity to hone her talents in the US. Her family go along for the ride and before too long she is the talk of the sport. Such has become the story of women’s tennis. The plot is much the same — fair-haired, photogenic looks, the coaching input of Nick Bollettieri, the business acumen of the ultra-agents at IMG and an insistence that any extra- curricular activities such as modelling and fashion design will not interfere click here
