.. find it more than a bit odd that THE TOP STORY on the official Aus. Open Web site is about ANNA KOURNIKOVA'S PHOTO-OP TRIP TO THE ZOO???
HELLO, Aus Open, she LOST IN THE FIRST ROUND. Is there NO tennis going on that deserves higher billing than this "story"?? :rolleyes:
LOL!! I think they've gone off the deep end this time! :D Too much! :p

True Ture Janie. I tihnk this is a stupid story. I Mean Ok she is very popular and all that.But i mean reporters witht her cameras running beside her when shes running. There got a kournakova crew there tht has about 80 people and reporters just for her. Its just a bit verratted and over staten.

As a fan of Anna's, I admit she is a bit overexposed! LOL! I think if she maybe put away the endorsements, calendars, photo shoots, videos, etc for the year, maybe she would have less pressure on herself to win some titles. I don't think they take up her practice time or anything, and I don't question her dedication to the game at all, I just think she could do without all the attention for once! :)

A new expression for beating someone could be:
"SHE SENT HER TO THE ZOO!" ;)

Hey Janie:) how about- "Sent to the Zoo and fed to the lions!".
The lions being the press corps!

I don't think that works when you invite the lions yourself! ;)
Justine sent Anna to the Zoo :wavey: with her pet Lions in tow.

I was thinking the same thing! There are three photo pages on the website. One for the men, one for the women and one for Anna!

For what it's worth, I think that the most recent "news" article added on the AO site gets top billing. So, the zoo article got top billing from the time it was placed on the site until the next article was added to the site, just as would be the case for any other article.
