I felt that there must be something amiss when I asked my seatmate at work, out of the blue, if there’s such a word as "worser" (worse, worser, worsest). She didn’t even bother to laugh. Well, at first. She told me to go home already. But I was still following Wimbledon scores online then and didn’t expect that the worst thing can happen to Novak Djokovic’s Wimbly campaign - he crashed out of the tournament, by the second round, in straight sets.
You won, Marat! (Toink!)

Well, Marat Safin is a Grand Slam champion and a former number one, but nobody probably expected that result. The online updates said that Nole was having all sorts of problems from the onset and wasn’t playing like the world no. 3. So much for the hyped Federer-Djokovic semifinal meeting.
Another sign that I should’ve stopped working by that time was when I turned to my seatmate again (poor Miss N) and asked if she’ll call Jonas Bjorkman a "Swedish person" instead of a Swede.
Going back to the Serbs, Ana Ivanovic, the women’s top seed and world no. 1, barely escaped the fate of her compatriot. She won her secound round match against Nathalie Dechy of France 6-7, 7-6, 10-8. Ivanovic is also known for her blast serves. Shouldn’t she be called Serbish? Hee heh. Worry not; I’m already home.
