女子テニスでのロシア勢の活躍がここのところ目立っているが、
その中でもトップの選手は全仏オープンを制した
アナスターシャ・ミスキナだろう。
現在世界ランクは4位。
ちなみにオレはアメリカのある大会でミスキナにサインをもらったことがあるが
彼女は性格がいいことでも定評があり
そのときも集まってきたファンほぼ全員にサインをし、
カメラへのポーズにも応じていた
（ちなみに試合後ではなく、他のコートでの練習後だった）。
そのミスキナが、アメリカの出版社を相手に訴訟を起こした。
ロシアの雑誌Medvedに、彼女に無断で
ミスキナのトップレス写真が渡ってしまったからだ。
（で、Medvedは、ジーンズに上半身ヌードのミスキナの写真を表紙に使用）。
写真は2002年の秋にGQという雑誌用に撮影されたのだが
どうやらそのカメラマンが無断でロシアの出版社に売り飛ばしたらしい。
しかし、もともと写真の使用に関して、ミスキナの許可なしでは出版や売却できない、
という契約だったため、今回の訴訟に至った模様。
ミスキナはこの裁判で、最低8百万ドル(約8億8千万円）を要求しているそうだ。

なお、ミスキナは今日のロジャースカップ準決勝で
エレーナ・リホフツェワ（ロシア）にセットカウント1-2で敗れた。
もう1試合の準決勝はアメリー・モーレスモ（フランス）がベラ・ズボナレワ（ロシア）にストレート勝ちで決勝に進出。

Myskina Sues Magazine Over Two Topless Photos
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
Anastasia Myskina, the French Open champion, accused GQ magazine in a federal lawsuit yesterday of failing to prevent a photographer from reselling two topless pictures from a photo shoot to a Russian magazine.
Some of the photographs taken by Mark Seliger appeared in the October 2002 issue of GQ. But this year's July/August issue of the Russian magazine Medved includes a topless shot of her, wearing jeans, on the cover, and three other photographs inside, including another topless one, according to the lawsuit.
Myskina, who is seeking at least $8 million in damages, said that the defendants - GQ; its owner, Condé Nast Publications; and Seliger - had agreed that the photographs would appear only in GQ and could not be resold.
Her lawyers said in the lawsuit that the photos in Medved "are highly embarrassing and have caused Ms. Myskina great emotional distress and economic harm."
The suit, filed in United States District Court in Manhattan, accuses Seliger of profiting from her rise to prominence and it says that GQ and Condé Nast should have known that Seliger and his studio had sold the pictures to Medved without Myskina's permission - and "had a duty to prevent" the sale.
Maury Perl, a Condé Nast spokeswoman, declined to comment, and a call to Seliger's studio seeking a response was not returned.
"It's not a question of being photographed nude," Alexander Berkovich, Myskina's lawyer, said in a telephone interview from his office in New York. "It's about a decision that others made without her permission."
The topless photographs, he said, were not supposed to be published.
"It was a total surprise to Anastasia and to me," Berkovich said.
Berkovich said that by selling the topless photograph to Medved, the defendants were showing that they "want to capitalize on her status. Those photographs didn't show up for two years."
Myskina, 23, is the fourth-ranked women's tennis player in the world.

Myskina files $8 million federal lawsuit
French Open champ claims GQ allowed topless photos of herto be used in Russian magazine without her permission

Updated: 6:47 p.m. ET Aug. 7, 2004
NEW YORK - French Open champion Anastasia Myskina filed an $8 million federal lawsuit against GQ magazine, claiming it allowed topless photographs of her to appear in a Russian magazine without her permission.
The Russian tennis star said she never intended for two shots of her appearing shirtless to be published anywhere, her attorney said Saturday. The lawsuit was filed Friday in Manhattan federal court.
The photos were taken by GQ photographer Mark Seliger for a spread in the October 2002 GQ edition, and one approved photo of her fully clothed was published along with a profile of the tennis player.
Myskina’s lawyer, Alexander Berkovich, said his client retained the right to approve the photos prior to publication and resale was not permitted in the contract.
“These were photos were taken in a closed environment and this was not the arrangement,” he said.
The lawsuit against Seliger, GQ and its corporate parent Conde Nast alleges that Seliger sold the photos to Medved magazine and that GQ failed to stop him.
“The photos published in the July/August 2004 issue of the Medved are highly embarrassing and have caused Ms. Myskina great emotional distress and economic harm and injury to her reputation,” she says in the lawsuit filed in Manhattan Federal Court.
A message left for a Conde Nast spokeswoman on Saturday was not immediately returned.
