Anna's wicked web

Anna Kournikova lost in the quarterfinals of the Gaz de France on Feb. 9, and three days later the Anna Kournikova virus hit the Internet.


	Interest in Anna Kournikova has hardly slowed since her injury.

Although there is no absolutely no evidence of any connection whatsoever, by the most remarkable coincidence, Kournikova has not played in a tournament since the virus appeared. She missed the recently concluded French Open because of a stress fracture in her left foot and also withdrew from another upcoming tournament. She is still scheduled to compete at Wimbledon, but there is no guarantee she will play amid some speculation the injury is worse than first indicated.

And in perhaps the most alarming development of all, she turned 20 years old last Thursday. That's right -- the tennis Lolita is no longer a teenager. Sergei Fedorov can stop worrying about transporting her across state lines.

None of this, however, has slowed Kournikova's performance as the hardest-working athlete in cyberspace. Despite her four-month layoff, Kournikova actually climbed back into the top 20 "most searched expressions" on the Internet, though she still trails Britney Spears, Pearl Harbor and Dragonball. One search engine brings up 180,000 references, including a few that don't promise photos of her bending over in a short skirt. And, oh yes, Maxim magazine's many sophisticated readers recently voted her the athlete of the year (apparently edging out Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima).

Still, if her foot injury continues to keep her off the court for an extended period of time, a Kournikova web search might bring up somewhat less risqué websites than you currently find for the world's favorite tennis player who has never won a tournament:
