MELBOURNE, Australia (Reuters) - Anna Kournikova (news) has settled one of the debates at this year's Australian Open (news - web sites) -- the fabled tattoo on her back does not exist.

Speculation has been rife after Kournikova was photographed with a large plaster on her back just above the waistband of her skirt.
But laughing at reports the plaster was to cover up the name of a boyfriend or some body art, the blonde Russian said: "I don't think I have anything on my body, no.
"It is a heat patch ... I have had chronic back pain and it is a heat patch I have worn for some years.
"My skirt is a little lower this year which is why you can now see it."
Couldn't help myself.
