JUDGEMENTS

Winners and losers of the last seven days

WINNERS

Tim Henman

Unlike most British losers at Wimbledon, he looks to have a future

Premiership football fans

Ravanelli, di Matteo and (as seems likely) Poborsky. Another close season, another batch of exciting imports

Saurav Ganguly

Who has given the most eloquent response to those patronising jokes about his name with two centuries in his first two Test matches

LOSERS

Ronnie Irani

Whose belligerence helped win the first Test and save the second, but was deemed surplus to requirements for the third

Goran Ivanisevic

With Becker, Sampras and Agassi falling by the wayside the road was clear for a big server to make it to the final: Richard Krajicek.

Italian football fans

Ravanelli, di Matteo and (presumably) Poborsky. In normal circumstances they would all be playing in Serie A come September. Not this year.
