From Russia, with love
Anna Kournikova and Sergei Fedorov were married and divorced, his agent said, confirming rumors that began one-and-a-half years ago. ``He was married to her. I honestly don't know when he got married to her -- all I know is that he was married,'' agent Pat Brisson said on Monday. ``He's kind of surprised that everyone's asking him the same question.'' Asked about reports of a marriage, the Detroit Red Wings' forward told The Hockey News magazine for its March 14 issue: ``They are true. We were married, albeit brief, and we are now divorced.''

Whales blow away Elephants
The China Trust Whales vented their frustrations against the Brother Elephants in a 17-5 rout of the defending champions last night in Hsinchuang. The victory ended the Whales' five-game winless skid against their arch rival and gave their fans a reason to celebrate -- at least for one night. In his first game of the season, last season's MVP, Whales starter Soong Chao-jee (宋肇基), put up a decent effort by holding the powerful Brother lineup to just five runs. The real story of the night was how the Whale bats finally came alive against the group of Elephant pitchers that had held the Whales to eight runs in the past two games combined. With the series tied at 1-1-1, the Whales will look to make it two in a row.
