From 97 to 01 Anna had 5 injuries just as it seemed she was getting her game back Stress fractures and ligaments torn. Add that to her Mother making it so bad the coach left and her Mom took over her training, it wasn't ideal. Between the two things, it's hard to say how good Anna might have become, because she showed she could, beating Stephie Graff and other top players of the time.
