ANNA KOURNIKOVA - KOURNIKOVA TO RETIRE FOR TV?

Sexy tennis babe ANNA KOURNIKOVA is considering retiring because of her ongoing back problem, reports in Britain claim.

The 22-year-old Russian, who is well known for her eye-catching looks, lucrative modelling jobs and rock star boyfriend, has struggled with a back injury since the start of the year (03), and has seen her international ranking slump to a low 89th.

But according to THE SUN newspaper, we haven't seen the last of Anna - she's keen to relaunch herself as a TV star.

She said yesterday, "I'd love to appear in something like SEX AND THE CITY or FRIENDS."
