Said a source with longtime ties to the tour, "Jimmy's kind of a low- life and always has been. " Jimmy's just weird," Navratilova lamented. He did the same thing two years ago at the unveiling of Arthur Ashe Stadium for the U.S. "It gives half of us the chance to be sanctimonious about his outrageous behavior and the other half the opportunity to await ghoulishly the next roadside accident."ĬRANKY JIMBO: Martina Navratilova said it was "sad" that Jimmy Connors couldn't find the time to attend Saturday's Centre Court celebration for former Wimbledon champions, but Connors' no-show was hardly a surprise. "The British public, of course, love the bearded loon," Mark Reason wrote in The Telegraph. In the case of Damir Dokic, skeptics abound.

If it's any help to Kournikova's legion of fans, she did smile once. Beyond something like "no" or "nothing," they had absolutely no response to the seven or eight questions regarding the incident. They were hoping for a wry comment or two, but neither woman was going for it.

The crowd got a mild kick out of seeing one of Kournikova's many admirers show his true colors. The man, who identified himself to a reporter as Mark Roberts, a 35-year- old from Liverpool who worked as a "professional streaker" and had exposed himself 156 times in public, quickly was apprehended and escorted off the grounds without being charged.
