The often humorous adventures of a roguish anti-hero of low social degree living by his wits in a corrupt society

The Massacre At Wimbledon
The Massacre at Wimbledon continues.
No.1, and newly-crowned French Open champion Ana Ivanovic was disposed of rather brutally by a Wild Card entry!
And, to top it off, my own personal favorite Amelie Mauresmo battled hard...for one set...against Serena Williams. Okay so that last one wasn't a shock, but I was pretty sad nonetheless.
This has been a crazy Wimbledon!
Here are the big names from the men's side who have dumped out, rather unceremoniously, before the second week:
Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, James Blake, Fernando Gonzalez, David Ferrer, David Nalbandian, and Nikolay Davydenko (check the betting patterns on that last one!).
Here's the list from the women's side:
Ana Ivanovic, Maria Sharapova, Lindsay Davenport, and Amelie Mauresmo.
To make things worse, Jelena Jankovic suffered a knee injury and just about scraped through a win.
Things are getting interesting...
