Russian Star Anna Kournikova Says May Return to
Tennis !!!!
Anna Kournikova left open
the possibility of a return to professional tennis,
news agencies reported Sunday.
The 24-year-old Russian, who hasn’t played professionally
since 2003 because of back problems, said she doesn’t
have any plans to return to the WTA Tour any time
soon, but added that “the possibility is not completely
out of the question.”
Kournikova made the comments in Brazil ahead of
Saturday night’s match against Martina Hingis on
a court set up on Rio de Janeiro’s famed Copacabana
beach.
Hingis recently announced she is returning to the
professional circuit. The 25-year-old Swiss player
retired from the WTA Tour in 2002 after battling
a series of injuries.
“I’m just waiting for a wild card to play in the
Australian Open,” Hingis said Friday. “To face Anna
will be a good test for me.”
Kournikova and Hingis teamed up to win the Australian
Open doubles title in 1999 and 2002.
