yes..Jelena Dokic's dad got arrested at Wimbledon for causing havoc and was carted away still clutching his strawberries.
He's currently in a Croatian jail (where they are from originally) doing 6 months for threatening to kill the Australian ambassador.
Poor Jelena had gone back home but fled again to Oz to get away from her dad. |

Gorgeous day; sunshine in London; happy tourists ramming Queensway making it even nicer that Rome, Nice, Paris and Marrakech, where I've been last month. I'm sipping an enormous Pimms, laced with banana, cucumber, strawberries and raspberries (just missing the mint sprigs) about to watch Andy Murray win his first round. |

I remember a few grunters back in the 70s. It's always been around. There's one woman this year (forget her name) who is described as a waling banshee when she plays. Apparently she doesn't do it in practice so they are trying to encourage umpires to clamp down on it, if it's believed to be putting the opponant off. |

Oh no, one of my favourite players is out, Jelena Dokic, now of Austrailia, previously of Serbia? Remember her obsessive father used to to stalk her wherever she went. |
