Circuit Judge Kevin Emas ruled Thursday that Dubravko Rajcevic will have to serve to two years in jail for stalking and trespassing. He was convicted in April.

Attorney Frank Abrams said a romance between the tennis star and Assistant State Attorney Christopher Calkin that became public just two days after Rajcevic was sentenced in June began while the case was still pending. He said it created a conflict of interest that should be grounds to throw out his client's conviction.

Emas ruled that the romance had no impact on Rajcevic's case, then scolded Abrams for seeking publicity.

``Mr. Abrams' unwarranted attacks upon the prosecution in general, and Mr. Calkin in particular, leads one to wonder whether Mr. Abrams was less concerned with a sound defense and more concerned with a sound bite,'' Emas said.

Dubravko was arrested when he ignored an order from police to stay away and returned to watch Hingis play at the 2000 Ericsson Open.
