Judge Rules Against Anastasia Myskina's Topless Photos
French Open champion Anastasia Myskina Anastasia Myskina can't stop a photographer from distributing topless pictures taken of her during a 2002 magazine photo session.
The Russian tennis star said she never intended for two shots of her appearing shirtless to be published anywhere, her attorney said. Myskina was 20 years old when the photographs were taken and she said that the photographer had asked if he could take the pictures "for himself" and she said he could, as long as they were not published.
The judge ruled that the Russian star's rights were not violated when the photographs were published in Medved with an article weeks after she won the French Open in 2004, despite her insistence that she did not understand a photo release form with her signature on it and was not fluent in English at the time.
