	Manchester United - RedWeb3 - Treble Winners: 1998-1999 Wimbledon 1:1 Manchester United
		WIMBLEDON, where men have always been men, is a thousand miles and a million light years from the Old Lady of Turin, but the Dons produced all the defensive obduracy United can expect from Juventus on Wednesday to halt a damaging run of three successive defeats with a hard-earned point.
		Wimbledon have been on the slide of late, but they were true grit personified, particularly well served by their goalkeeper, Neil Sullivan, who is said to interest United and did his prospects of a lucrative move a power of good.
		Wimbledon were offering precious little as an attacking force, but might have burgled the lead late on when Marcus Gayle stepped inside Johnsen before letting fly from 20 yards and sending Schmeichel plunging low to his left.

	Manchester United - RedWeb3 - Treble Winners: 1998-1999 Wimbledon 1:1 Manchester United
		Wimbledon may have taken the lead after just five minutes through Jason Euell but they had to produce a simply stunning defensive performance for the remaining 85 minutes as leaders Manchester United threw absolutely everything at them.
		Wimbledon may not have beaten United in their past nine League encounters and even came into the game on the back of three successive defeats, but yet again they proved their ability to upset high-flying opponents.
		Wimbledon coach David Kemp insisted that Manchester United were still on course to win the title even after the Dons had dented their championship chances at Selhurst Park.

		WIMBLEDON, England -- The most famous stadium in tennis was quiet as a cathedral, the stands empty, the scoreboards blank, the first match still days away.
		But he also wins at Wimbledon because grasscourt matches often come down to just a few pivotal points, and Sampras is at his best under pressure.

		Wimbledon, in the eyes of Agassi, is now at Sampras's mercy for as long as the six-time champion wants it.
		In becoming Wimbledon's man of the century, Pete Sampras was near perfection yesterday, lucky only in the respect that Andre Agassi was on the same court to provide the ideal foil for his geometry in motion.
		He has won the Wimbledon men's singles title six times, one more than Bjorn Borg, who accomplished five in a row at the end of the 1970s, and one fewer than William Renshaw, whose seven were accumulated in the good, old-fashioned 1880s.

		Pete Sampras' skills on grass are undisputed and his Wimbledon results — 53-1 in the last eight years — might never be repeated.
		Wimbledon continued its indifference toward the women's game by going strictly by the rankings with seedings, a decision that raises the possibility of a different kind of bias.
		Five-time Wimbledon champion Bjorn Borg and Courier, 1993 Wimbledon finalist, are examples of baseliners who made good at at the All-England Club.

		Still, the two-time Wimbledon semifinalist (1991, 2001) and four-time quarterfinalist (1992, 1993, 2002, 2003) is fully capable of a strong run, and could meet Serena in a rematch scenario in the same round they played in Paris.
