Jelena Jankovic picks a bone with Wimbledon officials

Jelena Jankovic did not make it to the Wimbledon’s quarter finals. This is the first time that none of the top 3 female competitors made it to the quarter finals.
But Jankovic did not go quietly – she is furious with the Wimbledon officials who did not allow her to have a late start as she has suffered an injury and needed time to recuperate. So against doctor’s orders she went ahead and played a match. And we know how that ended up.
Jankovic also had a go at the organizers for being placed at Court number 18 – “I was almost playing in the parking lot. I needed a helicopter to get to my court. There was no reason to put me out on Court 18… It’s not my job to look at other players but it’s not normal to have Anna Chakvetadze and Nicole Vaidisova on Court One and Venus Williams, the defending champion, on Court Two.»
Federer does not agree – “Pete Sampras played on Court Two after winning here seven times. I wouldn’t be disappointed if they put me on Court Two. I’m just happy to play here.”
What has become of Wimbledon if all everyone is talking about is fashion and what Court are they playing on?
