		Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic says a line-judge made him go "a little crazy" but his behaviour is unlikely to be punished.
		Wimbledon will always have its critics but few can argue that the 2001 championships was one of the best in recent memory.

		Ivanisevic, who said this week he felt it was his destiny to win the title, burst into tears and climbed into the players' box to embrace his father.
		He had won only nine matches in 2001 before organisers gave him a wildcard entry, allowing him to avoid having to qualify.
		Early in the final set the Croatian broke the record for aces at Wimbledon - 206 - which he set in 1992 on the way to a final defeat by Andre Agassi - and the set went with serve until the penultimate game.

		Wimbledon finally moved to Milton Keynes in September 2003 but were relegated at the end of last season.
		Despite the independent commission's ruling that the formation of such a club "would not be in the wider interests of football", AFC Wimbledon have thrived, and have been promoted to the Ryman First Division.
		As Wimbledon's move was delayed time and again, the club was eventually placed in administration and many top players were sold.

		WIMBLEDON, England — Pete Sampras knows the ball can't always bounce his way, not even on grass.
		The woman to beat this year is a surprise: Jennifer Capriati, the first player since 1992 to reach Wimbledon halfway to a Grand Slam sweep.
		Then, with his parents at Wimbledon for the first time, he summoned some of his best tennis to beat Rafter in the final.

		He wasn't even supposed to be at the 2001 fortnight, but was extended an invitation (wild card), due to the fact that he's Goran Ivanisevic and was a three-time runner-up at the world's most prestigious tennis event.
		But when you serve like Ivanisevic did (130-plus mph bombs) at the 2001 Wimbledon extravaganza and you can manage to break your opponent's serve every once in a while, you're going to be near impossible to beat, or in Goran's case, impossible to beat, as he rode his elephant gun serve into history.
		The 2000 runner-up to Sampras, Rafter was hoping that Wimbledon 2001 would be his swan song, considering he himself has been plagued by injuries over the past few years and has hinted at retirement at the end of this season.

	Mauresmo must prove she has banished demons - Telegraph
		While Suzanne Lenglen, the last Frenchwoman to win Wimbledon back in 1925, was supremely and unashamedly self-confident, the mademoiselle seeking to emulate her is an altogether more complex individual.
		As well as being No 1 in the world rankings, Mauresmo is probably also top of the list when it comes to having a history of nervous moments, being a player who has previously shown that she does not need a coach in her corner so much as a team of sports psychologists.
		Victory for Henin-Hardenne, who lost the 2001 Wimbledon final to Venus Williams, would give her a sixth grand slam title, thus making her - in the continued absence from the sport of Serena Williams - the game's most successful active player.
