Anna Kournikova

The world's favourite tennis blonde has tied the knot. Here's our guide to the best links to the centre court diva.
1. Millions of male tennis fans are in mourning today.

2. Wimbledon's centre court hasn't been asphalted. No, it's something much more serious than that.

3. Anna Kournikova has married her fellow Russian boyfriend, Sergei Fedorov, who is a Detroit Redwings ice hockey player, in a secret ceremony in Moscow. According to the Sun, that is.

4. No matter that she has never won a major professional tournament, Anna is the hottest thing in tennis. Hell, she even had a computer virus named after her.

5. So no wonder the gut-wrenching news has spread like wildfire to a plethora of websites devoted to the tennis sensation.

6. The bad news, for the fans at least, comes hot on the heels of another disappointment. Anna dropped out of Wimbledon due to a foot injury, denying British men a chance to follow her every stroke.

7. Maybe the wedding is a sign that it's time for Miss Kournikova to bury her wild child reputation. There are already several tennis players snapping at Anna's heels for the title of top tennis blonde. Next in line is probably Barbara Schett, who wowed the crowds at Wimbledon.

8. She also played some tennis.

9. Schett or no Schett, no doubt hordes of men will continue to worship at the Kournikova shrine - and there are screensavers, posters and photos galore to help.

10. But what now for the new Mrs Fedorov? No doubt she'll continue to rake it in with lucrative endorsement deals with the likes of Omega watches and Berlei bras. Oh, and she might even fit in the occasional game of tennis.
