Bar fight won’t affect Kournikova’s tennis

Anna Kournikova always seems to make things interesting before she arrives in D.C.

As reported by the New York Post, the tennis star got into a fracas Saturday night in Las Vegas after a woman threw a drink at her. 

After attending a table tennis tournament, Kournikova & Co. were partying at the Lavo nightclub, when the offending drink was tossed. Kournikova began shoving the woman, according to the Post, resulting in a “big fight,” and leaving some scratch marks on the blond bombshell.

Kournikova is set to play for the St. Louis Aces against the Washington Kastles here July 8. A spokeswoman for the Kastles says the World Team Tennis League says she’s fine and will be in Washington, while Kastles General Manager Brian Grossman says the team “look[s] forward to Anna’s D.C. appearance on July 8th.”

Last year, Kournikova’s appearance in D.C. was shadowed by comments that then-Kastles player Justin Gimmelstob made about her, to the effect that he’d like to slam the ball into her face.
