ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Anna Kournikova will miss the rest of the
season with a wrist injury.
World Team Tennis said Kournikova made her decision after
experiencing pain from tenosynovitis while practicing for what
would have been her seventh season with the league.
The St. Louis Aces player has not responded to therapy or a
series of cortisone shots.
Kournikova said in a news release that she is ``extremely
disappointed'' that she won't be able to compete this year. She
said she planned to work on her rehabilitation and looked forward
to next year's season.
She still plans to travel with her team to matches in
Philadelphia on Monday, Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, Springfield
on July 10 and St. Louis on July 11.
