Report: Kournikova's Agent Fears for Future of Career
If She Returns, She'd Play Sparingly
SportsTicker
PARIS (July 29) -- Anna Kournikova's tennis career might be in jeopardy after her agent revealed Tuesday a long-standing back injury might force her out of the game.
In the latest issue of French sports daily L'Equipe, agent Phil De Picciotto admitted that the 22-year-old ravishing Russian might be forced to dramatically cut back her playing schedule -- if she is able to return to action.
Kournikova has had a miserable run of results over the past couple of seasons and did not play at the French Open or Wimbledon due to injury. She has played just five events this year and recently withdrew from the entire summer hard-court season, including the U.S. Open.
"Considering the state of her back, Anna is unable to to feature in tournaments regularly," De Picciotto told L'Equipe. "The past six months have proved that she has a real desire to play, but even if she feels better, she is not fit enough to play as much as she used to."
The pin-up girl of tennis, Kournikova has never won a singles title on the WTA Tour, with most of her riches predominantly coming from sponsorship deals. She tried to resurrect her career in May by playing on the Challenger circuit, but had to pull out due to her back ailment.
Her best performance in seven years as a professional came when she reached the semifinals of Wimbledon in 1997. She reached a career-high eighth in the world rankings in December 2000.
Shit. There goes the only reason to watch tennis. |

Hello? Now she'll have to support herself in other ways.
This could be a dream come true. |
