Kournikova out for rest of season due to wrist injury

ST. LOUIS -- 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.
