SPORTSAnna Kournikova Becomes First Woman To Win On Men's Tour
Doing what she has so far proved unable to accomplish on the women's professional tennis circuit, Anna Kournikova not only won the first tournament of her career this week but became the first woman ever to win on the men's tour.
Anna stormed past her competition effortlessly at the Bank of Kansas Greater Wichita Open, setting an ATP record of 2,300 aces, causing over 4,200 unforced errors and not allowing her opponents to score any points for the entire competition.
"Me Andre," said former world number one Andre Agassi at a press conference after losing his quaterfinal match to Anna 6-0, 6-0, 6-0.
Seven-time Wimbledon champ Pete Sampras fared no better, managing to get the ball over the net only twice during his 6-0, 6-0, 6-0 semifinal loss to Anna.
"Pjifds," explained Sampras after his crushing defeat. "Kofew afda aagdi."
Anna's was awarded the title after her opponent in the final, Andy Roddick, passed out when the match was at 30-love in the first game of the first set.
Following her unprecedented victory, Anna says she now has her sights set on entering men's chess, billiards, and curling competitions.
