LONDON, June 29 (Jun 29, 1997 - 19:56 EDT) - Russian teenager Anna Kournikova kept alive
her Wimbledon dream late Sunday when she swept into the fourth-round of the women's singles
with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory over seventh-seed Anke Huber of Germany after a 1 hour, 43 minute
showdown on the center-court.
The 16-year-old from Moscow, watched by coach Nick Bollettieri, mother Alla and ice-hockey
star boyfriend Sergei Federov, now plays experienced 32-year-old Helena Sukova of the Czech
Republic for a place in the quarter-finals.
Kournikova, who won the under-21 title at Eastbourne last weekend, has played seven senior tour
events in 1997 and already chalked up victories over top players Amanda Coetzer and Arantxa
Sanchez-Vicario.
Huber is the seventh seed to be beaten in the women's event.
