ロシアの cover-girl 革命

Anna who? The absence of Russia's most famous glamour girl has barely raised an eyebrow at Wimbledon this year with a bevy of her beautiful compatriots stepping into the 違反 and the 焦点（を合わせる） of the 圧力（をかける） shutters.

Six young ロシアの 女性（の）s have 進歩d into the third 一連の会議、交渉／完成する, and at the 前線 of the 列 of beauties is Maria Sharapova, who yesterday wiped her compatriot Elena Bovina off the 法廷，裁判所 in just 59 minutes.

The シードされていない 16-year-old showed she 所有するs far more than the 疑わしい honour of 存在 Anna Kournikova's 相続人 明らかな as she 動揺させるd off a 一斉射撃，（質問などの）連発／ダム of cleanly-struck 勝利者s and crisp serves to 巡航する through to the next 一連の会議、交渉／完成する with a 6-3, 6-1 勝利.

The 勝利，勝つ, which now 炭坑，オーケストラ席s her against 11th seed Jelena Dokic, was all the more impressive given the 激しい-hitting Bovina was not far behind as the tournament's 21st seed, and would have comfortably 爆破d through half the field.

But 連合した with her physical せいにするs, Sharapova 所有するs exquisite タイミング, and she 繰り返して latched on to Bovina's 100mph-加える serve and slugged it 支援する into the corners. The Siberian-born, Florida-based teen broke Bovina's serve twice during the first 始める，決める and was hardly troubled in the second other than from the cameras.

As with 叫び声をあげる queen Sharapova's first-一連の会議、交渉／完成する 勝利，勝つ over Ashley Harkleroad, the long レンズs jostled with teenage boys for the best vantage points. They had 耐えるd a long day after 追跡するing across the All England Club to watch 22-year-old ロシアの cover-girls Elena Dementieva and Anastasia Myskina both 勝利，勝つ their matches also in straight 始める，決めるs. Svetlana Kuznetsova, 18 today, is also through.

Only Elena Likhovtseva - and Myskina's 敗北・負かすd 敵 Lina Krasnoroutskaya - were beaten, though already through to the third 一連の会議、交渉／完成する are Nadia Petrova and Vera Zvonareva, 供給するing a stark contrast to the first 一連の会議、交渉／完成する disappearing 行為／法令／行動する of Britain's finest women.

The 行列 o f good-looking - and talented - ロシアのs into the 最高の，を越す tier of 女性（の） tennis would have certainly sent a shiver 負かす／撃墜する the spine of the 負傷させるd Kournikova, who has rarely managed to 占領する newspaper column インチs with her tennis.

And she will be 特に 関心d with Sharapova's 出現. Though still green, she 所有するs a 広大な 量 of self-信用／信任 and, at 6ft, the type of 力／強力にする game to trouble 最高の，を越す 10 players.

She said: "It doesn't put any 圧力 on me knowing it's Wimbledon, I just go out there with my game. I played really 井戸／弁護士席 and when you play really 井戸／弁護士席, good things happen, simple. This is not dream land."

Kournikova's showmanship is there, too. Sharapova already blows kisses to the （人が）群がる, and is unperturbed by the trappings of celebrity. She said: "I was told by my スパイ／執行官 it is better if you wear a hat and sunglasses now. I had lunch in Wimbledon village and I （機の）カム out of the cafe and there were three tabloid photographers 権利 in my 直面する and I just started laughing."
