Just a little something I found on the BBC about Wimbledon 2005
TOP FIVE FLOPS
Tim Henman
No one really expected him to win, but nor did they expect a tetchy second-round defeat
Mario Ancic
The Croat was an outsider for the title until he succumbed meekly to Felicano Lopez
Marat Safin
Suffered defeat in third round - and didn't seem all that bothered pffffff, whatever
Ivo Karlovic
The Queen's finalist flamed out in the first round
Boris Becker's suit
Becker opted for a powder blue number coupled with pink tie on men's final day ;D ;D ;D

Yeah I think we should all be used by now to the fact that hardly anyone who writes about tennis, likes Marat ROTFL

WTF? Why didn't they say Nadal as a flop? He's the highest seed who lost the earliest.

I thought it might interest some of you which players were considered as the toppers at Wimbledon in the same article (no surprises here really) TOP FIVE STARS Roger Federer Federer, why oh why? ;D An SW19 legend already - and he's only 23 Andy MurrayThe teenager lit up Wimbledon after Henman's dismal exit maybe for the people at the BBC he did, but not for meFeliciano LopezServe-volleyed his way into the quarters - the first Spaniard in 33 years to get that far Fernando GonzalezThe big-hitting Chilean is unmissable entertainment Jimmy ConnorsA compelling presence in the commentary box if anyone wants to read the entire article, here's the link: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/4646211.stmThere's not a lot Marat-related info in there, I guess it's more for people who miss Wimbledon already! |
