ANNA KOURNIKOVA - KOURNIKOVA'S TANTRUM DURING YACHT RACE

Russian tennis beauty ANNA KOURNIKOVA furiously refused to be interviewed and spurned photographers as she opened the TRANSAT 2004 yacht race in Plymouth, south England on Monday (31MAY03).

The blonde bombshell - who has reportedly married long term love ENRIQUE IGLESIAS in secret - reveled her fiery temper as she climbed aboard the HMS TYNE, after encountering rough seas and being forced to wear unflattering waterproof jumpsuits.

A shocked source tells Britain's DAILY MIRROR newspaper, "Anna was forced to take a small boat out to the ship. The rough seas must have left her feeling really sick. She also had to wear a really unflattering waterproof, orange jumpsuit and helmet.

"As she went down to get on the boat she kept her head down and we heard her yelling at her assistant something like: 'I said no photographs!' Her assistant tried to calm her down, telling her no pictures were being taken, but she shouted: 'Do I look blind?'"
