ANNA KOURNIKOVA - KOURNIKOVA DEFENDS SPEEDY IGLESIAS

ENRIQUE IGLESIAS' stamina in bed has been defended by his gorgeous girlfriend ANNA KOURNIKOVA, after the singer was criticised by his own brother.

The 22-year-old Russian tennis player was accompanied to yesterday's (12OCT03) WORLD MUSIC AWARDS ceremony by the HERO star's older brother JULIO JNR, as Enrique was too busy to attend.

However, as the pair relaxed at the luxurious Monte Carlo, Monaco event, Kournikova took exception to Julio Jnr joking that Enrique can only last one minute in bed.

She testily replied, "He is certainly not a one-minute man. He has plenty of stamina. I've no complaints about his performance," according to British newspaper THE DAILY MIRROR.
