 WOMENS HARDCOURT, Gold Coast           
 Anna Kournikova has once again missed  
 out on winning her first title.        
                                        
 After four years as a professional, the
 18-year-old Russian had real hopes in  
 this tournament which lacked the       
 world's top eight women players.       
                                        
 She received another boost when French 
 top seed Julie Halard-Decugis lost 6-0 
 6-1 to Bulgaria's Magdalena Maleeva.   
                                        
 However, second-sjedjd Kournikova will 
 have to wait for her first crown after 
 crashing to Croatia's Silvija Talaja   
 4-6 6-4 6-2 in the quarter-finals.
