Anna Kournikova: Wta Tour
built 126 days ago
The comeback attempt of Anna Kournikova was short-lived - two hours and three minutes to be exact - and the winless streak is still alive. During her long absence from the tour, the top players have distanced themselves from the rest. Does Kournikova have what it takes to get back to the top?

Young Anna first made an impact on the women's tour in 1996. She performed admirably and impressed everybody who looked at her. She had some early success, but her inexperience was clear for all to see in her over-ambitious shots, nervous errors and habit of going to the back of the court whenever she had to bend over and tie her shoelaces.

-- Anna (in stripes) hits a backhand while defeating Steffi Graf 6(4)-7, 6-3, 6-4 at the Eastbourne "Wimbledon warmup" tourney on June 18, 1998. Torn thumb ligaments incurred late in the match kept Anna out of action for the next two months.
