SURFING THE TUBE.Byline: TOM HOFFARTH TODAY Anna Kournikova, by the rankings: No. 1 by FHM magazine in the latest ``Sexiest Woman in the World'' poll, ousting Jennifer Lopez; No. 55 in the women's tennis computer; and No. 52 for Wimbledon women's singles, which she begins against fellow Russian Tatiana Panova.

Picks 2 and 3 are pretty set, too. What we're watching is how Grizzlies grizzled veteran Jerry West dazzles everyone at No. 4, sending a ripple effect through the rest of the day.
