Court circular; WINNERS AND LOSERS
WINNERS
Arantxa Sanchez Vicario
for losing brilliantly
Cedric Pioline
for getting the Court One crowd to chant his distinctly unsporting first name
Caroline Hall
for leaving her head in Tim Henman's line of fire
Greg Rusedski's marketing men
for the union jack bandana gimmick
Marc Rosset
for becoming a "truly great player" in Jeff Tarango's eyes a day after being castigated by him.
Frew McMillan
for raising the level of radio comment to dispassionate analysis
Bruno Rebeuh for making his a household name
The ball manufacturers for taking enough air out of the missiles to slow them down enough to be visible
Shuzo Matsuoka for making Pete Sampras look fleetingly ordinary
Bruno Rebeuh (again) for managing to get Greg Rusedski to stop smiling - if only temporarily
LOSERS
Luke Jensen
for scaremongering when his brother went walkabout
Chris Wilkinson
for upsetting David Lloyd quite so much
David Lloyd
for barely registering on the Pete Sampras recognition scale
Pete Sampras
for forgetting how to be graceful after beating a Brit at Wimbledon - even if the loser was originally Canadian
Anyone getting a rear view of Andre Agassi's "see-through" shorts
Jeremy Bates
for having his doubles campaign aborted through no fault of his own when partner Tim Henman was disqualified
Miles Harrison
for appalling "ships going into their favourite harbour" imagery on radio when Jo Durie exited for the last time
Pam Shriver
for having the most grating accent on TV apart from Lloyd Grossman
Benedicte Tarango obviously
Murphy Jensen for unforgiveable ignorance about London traffic
