Yes, he accidentally smacked a ball into a ball girl in a doubles match and got disqualified. Djokovic himself knows only too well about doing this, it probably cost him a US Open.
My eldest was doing A Levels in the same year as Raducanu, I pointed out that she was also winning the US Open at the same time.
I don't remember that one at all, but I'm your typical middle-Englander who only shows up for Wimbledon.
I forgot about her too, and she's a few months younger than my eldest. I wonder whether we'll ever see her do anything significant again.
I think we probably will, you don't win a US Open like that without having a certain amount of talent. She needs to sort out her injuries and quit doing so much commercial stuff. The company I work for are one of her sponsors, it's quite weird being sat at my desk in the office with a huge picture of her about to smash a serve in my direction.
Ah yes, I vaguely remember that now. Thanks for posting it.
Yeah, ditto. Because the Pistol kept winning every year (save 96) I was in my late twenties before someone my junior triumphed.
I actually worked at Wimbledon in '96 as a toilet cleaner (had just finished Uni)!! I was sat hiding in a toilet on Centre Court as Cliff Richard did his thing. It was also Henman's breakout year and I got to see all of his matches (in those days, if you had a pass you could just sneak on to any spare seat) until the QF when tickets were changing hands for stupid prices. I also had to watch the Euro '96 semi on Henman Hill which threatened to turn a bit nasty afterwards. The other breakout that year was Hingis. Funnily enough, I've never been back since.
I'm pretty sure that's why they had the roofing attached to prevent any sort of repeat if it rained again when Cliff was present.
Random reign of terror from Samsonova who really should have done something at a slam by now.
