Direct Line June 15-21 Eastbourne, ENG outdoor grass Anna's rank: 11 Anna's seed: 6	1 2 QF SF	Alexandra Fusai Mariann de Swardt Steffi Graf A. Sanchez Vicario	W W W L(X)	2-6, 6-1, 6-3 6-4, 6-1 6(4)-7, 6-3, 6-4 walkover
The win over Steffi Graf put Anna (who turned 17 on June 7) into the top 10 in the WTA rankings for the first time. But she was forced to withdraw from the next match due to torn ligaments in her right thumb, which she had strained in a fall near the end of the match with Steffi. Anna was out of action for 2 months, missed Wimbledon, and by the time she returned her rank had dropped back to 15th. Withdrawal interviews: Wimbledon   A&P Classic
