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.
