“And also I’ve been unhappy with the media coverage.”Damir Dokic, who moved his family from Yugoslavia to Australia six years ago, has repeatedly made headlines for his unpredictable behavior He was expelled from last year’s Wimbledon and U.S. Open, and the WTA Tour banned him until March.In the latest outburst, he questioned the computer draw that gave his daughter such a tough opening match.”The draw is fixed just for her,” he told the Sun-Herald of Sydney “If it is not, the country should protect its own player … She feels that no one here likes her.”Geoff Pollard, president of Tennis Australia, dismissed Damir Dokic’s allegation that the draw was rigged.”That’s just the way it came out,” Pollard said “The draw was done publicly in front of players and media He should know that all draws are done the same way. It’s the luck of the draw – you get good draws, you get bad draws. She has had good ones and bad ones before.”Dokic said she plans to move from Sydney to Florida. She received a Yugoslav passport in November after traveling on an Australian passport for four years.In the wake of the latest controversy involving the family, Davenport expressed sympathy for her first-round opponent.”That’s a little bit of a shame,” Davenport said “I don’t think it has a lot to do with her, though. She seems like really nice girl, and maybe there are some unfortunate circumstances there.”.
Rod Laver, the only two-time winner of the Grand Slam of tennis, says the sport is less attractive than in his day. Rod Laver, the only two-time winner of the Grand Slam of tennis, says the sport is less attractive than in his day.
“There was more variety in the strokes and the rallies that we played,” Laver said today after hitting with Lleyton Hewitt to christen the Australian Open’s newest court, the 10,000-seat, retractable-roof Vodafone Arena.The 15,000-seat center court at the Open’s site, Melbourne Park, was named Rod Laver Arena last year in honor of the Australian who won the four major tournaments of tennis in both 1962 and 1969.”Seems like the drop shot became very important because you just couldn’t do so much with the rackets,” which were wood when he started out, the 62-year-old Laver said.For recreational tennis players, he added, “it used to be when you had a tiny wooden racket it would come back and hit you in the eye. You’d say, ‘I don’t like this game.”‘Aside from racket technology, “I get the feeling that the courts are quicker, maybe the ball is quicker,” he said.Laver, who has 11 titles from Grand Slam tournaments, said he did not expect today’s younger players to dominate tennis the way Pete Sampras has, winning a total of 13 titles at Wimbledon and the Australian, French and U.S. Opens.There are “just so many young players out there that can rise up and play their best tennis,” he said.He mentioned U.S. Open champion Marat Safin, a 20-year-old Russian who rose to No. 2 in the rankings, and Hewitt, a 19-year-old Australian who won last week’s ATP tournament in Sydney and is seeded seventh for the Australian Open.Laver, nicknamed the “Rocket,” might have won more Grand Slam tournaments, possibly surpassing Sampras’ total, if they had been opened sooner to professionals.
As a pro, he missed the six years up to 1968.”I don’t dwell on that,” he said.”If you are just trophy-hunting or whatever, then maybe you could start to go back and try to analyze your career, but I was very fortunate to play some of my best tennis at the right time,” he added.”I am very, very happy that Pete is the record holder .. You don’t see him play just average matches. He is always playing at his peak.”Laver suffered a stroke in July 1998, and “I think tennis is certainly one of the things that has brought my recovery back,” he said.. The talent-rich Australian Open field includes defending champion Andre Agassi, US Open champion Marat Safin, Olympic gold medalist Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Gustavo Kuerten, who finished last year No 1. The talent-rich Australian Open field includes defending champion Andre Agassi, US Open champion Marat Safin, Olympic gold medalist Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Gustavo Kuerten, who finished last year No 1.
Yet none is the favorite of Aussie oddsmakers. At the start of his 13th year on the ATP tour, Pete Sampras remains the man to beat.It’s been three years since Sampras won a major title other than Wimbledon, and 16 months since he was ranked No 1. Rivals such as Jim Courier and Boris Becker have retired, and Patrick Rafter – younger than Sampras – may call it quits this year.But Sampras forges on, still a formidable force. He’ll bid for his 14th major title beginning Monday night against Karol Kucera, and he pronounces himself rested, relaxed and ready.”The hunger is still there, and I’m still very motivated,” he said.
However, he was told yesterday that Palacio had tested negative for the virus before their bloody eight-round contest in Britain last year, and has been advised medically that he does not need to take an AIDS test.’I've been told the chances of me having contracted the virus were infinitesimal,’ said the 27-year-old Barking fighter, who suffered a cut above the nose while Palacio was cut above his eye during their bout.’I'm very relieved, because when I first heard the rumours yesterday, I was very shocked and so was my wife,’ McMillan, a father of two, said. Good moves tend to retain equilibrium and prompt good moves in reply Playing well simply makes life too easy for one’s opponent. And it works both ways: while Mr Buchanan prowled the campaign trail in 1992, that consummate politician John Sununu, former White House chief of staff, substituted for him on CNN; likewise, Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state, is now a power-pundit, bringing his intellectual gravitas to bear on world events from his Park Avenue eyrie.When Mr Buckley ran – unsuccessfully – for mayor of New York in 1965, he was asked what he would do if elected ‘Demand a recount,’ came the urbane reply. Add the sugar and keep stirring, without letting the mixture boil, until sugar has completely dissolved. ‘I have come here on a very important matter – in order to save lives,’ Mr Mandela declared.

This was off a waist-high full toss, but it was another one from Cummins, a good deal closer to head height, that caused a certain amount of controversy while Atherton was batting.Part of Cummins’s repertoire is a back of the hand, looping leg-spinner, similar to the one Franklyn Stephenson used to bowl for Nottinghamshire, and when it goes wrong – as it did this time – it comes out as a slow beamer.

She hated meetings, was not a natural joiner, believed the stories of Stalin’s atrocities, felt sick when comrades casually argued that you can’t make omelettes without breaking eggs. On the other hand, her allegiances had long been socialist, and were reinforced by the class divisions (shocking to a colonial) which she saw in Britain. All the generous, colourful, literate people she met in London were communists. And she wanted her politics to be more than skittish, more than a way of annoying mummy or shocking the bourgeoisie. So she joined.Joining didn’t just mean signing petitions and having a Party card There were also foreign congresses and writers’ delegations. Lessing describes in detail a trip to the Soviet Union with, among others, Naomi Mitchison. While Lessing seethed at the “noisy insincerity” of what she heard and saw, Mitchison was less inhibited, complaining that the Soviets were no longer tolerant of free love (she had once bathed nude in the Moskva with her lover, she tells them) and satirising socialist-realist paintings (to her suggestion that a cow in one of these paintings looks as if it needs milking, the Party official replied severely “Soviet cows are well treated”).Lessing recalls such scenes with amused but also appalled fascination, wondering how it is that she and thousands of other western intellectuals – “useful idiots”, as Lenin called them – could have supported the most brutal tyranny of our time.
“How ridiculous it does seem now – that we took ourselves so seriously,” she says, and wonders if sentimentality, mass hysteria or a “delayed or displaced collective adolescence” were to blame But this is surely too harsh, on herself and on others. A truer answer lies in a letter she write to E P Thompson in 1957, when she speaks of being a communist not as “a question of intellectual standpoint, but rather a sort of sharing of moral fervour”.Suez, Aldermaston, the Soviet invasion of Hungary … Lessing worries that all this ancient political history will bore her younger readers. She needn’t: those moral fervours are recognisable and bring it to life Besides, as she says, politics seeped into everything then. Her memories of Britain in the Fifties – damp houses, draughty windows, utility furniture, one- bar electric fires, awful food, undrinkable coffee, parish-pump mentality, everyone in bed by ten – evoke the special texture of the Cold War.Politics also seeped into love, the other great illusion – or disillusion – in her life It’s not that she lacked lovers. First came Jack, who was Czech and a psychiatrist at the Maudsley; later Clancy Sigal, an American journalist and Trotskyist romantic; others are briefly mentioned but these were the two that count.
Both had deep relationships with Doris Lessing, but neither was ever more than passing through. They made no secret of this – there were always other women in the background – and, since they never promised anything, couldn’t be accused of letting her down. All the same, as she says, “there is no fool like a woman in need of a man”, and just because she doesn’t whinge about these men doesn’t mean she came out unscathed. Their boyish energy may have been charming, but some of their attitudes seem, now, neanderthal.Doris Lessing makes an analogy between love and politics: they are both about entertaining hope, and long after that hope has died or become ridiculous the poor addict will try to keep it alive She, too, suffered from excesses of fond expectation.
He may suffer from the same disease that afflicted the porters at my university The son of Archbishop Tutu also happens to be called Trevor. Yet he asked me if I was still doing the TV programme that he and I had hosted together, on a channel that I have never been near, and then started to talk about the times we worked together.

As he turned to go he threw in one last query: “Oh, by the way, is your dad still reading the news, then?” I haven’t yet figured out a way to tell Trevor Macdonald that he’s acquired a new relative.It may be that the young man was taught in Hackney’s schools, and never got round to the lesson where they teach the distinction between a forename and a surname; but even so, I think it’s a bit hard on poor old Trevor to suggest that he might already be reaching for the bus pass.Not that he’d mind, I suppose. Having been on the screens of the capital for more than a decade, on average once a week, I have learnt this the hard way. I am myself at best a nanocelebrity – my recognition factor being somewhat smaller than a weasel’s wedding tackle, as Blackadder would put it.

That much was not just implict in yesterday’s confirmation from Boeing that it plans to launch a new family of 737 jets – it was bluntly stated.Although it was inevitable that the 737, the world’s biggest selling aeroplane, would have to be renewed at some stage, the reason it is happening now is that the Airbus A320 family of jets has been stealing Boeing’s thunder, and its markets, with increasing success.This steady encroachment was best illustrated last year when Airbus snatched a pounds 1.3bn order from United Airlines from under the nose of Boeing.The A320 family is technically superior to the 737 It is also slightly bigger and faster and travels further. ‘I went on a couple of years too long and how these chaps like Eddie Hemmings keep going I’ve no idea.

Tracey and I did shows at the same time this year and hers opened two weeks before mine. I’d been busy all day and I walked into her opening, saw it hanging there and my heart just dropped, mainly out of fear that mine wasn’t sorted out at all. Those feelings are quite shocking when you have them because you think you’re wiser than that But it’s just real life. Some of the most important people in my life subsequently have been people I met then.But Tracey likes to be melodramatic and that can get on my tits We have lots of ups and downs. In fact, we have some nasty conversations, conversations that I don’t have with other people, because Tracey says what she thinks even if it’s a bit unpalatable. I don’t bear a grudge, but when we row it must look pretty funny from outside.Having a close friend who’s in the same profession as you – those things are always difficult. We had the shop for six months, and met a lot of people in that time It changed things for both of us It changed things for others too.
I remember her saying she liked the fact that she saw me laughing in the corner of the gallery.Soon afterwards I went round to her flat for a cup of tea, because I was having housing problems, and I was surprised by how practical she was. She can also be incisive, which was good when we went on to have the shop together. I’m someone who goes through life being nice: I want people to like me Whereas Tracey’s tough. She wouldn’t hesitate to tell someone to get out of the shop if she was fed up with them, so in that way we balance each other quite well.What I like best about Tracey is that she’s exciting. We started to have a lot of ups and downs, and I thought I didn’t want to be in a relationship with someone … but she was the person to do the shop with because she was brave and exciting I knew that it would be a real change.
A load of people went to the pub afterwards and that was where I got into conversation with Tracey. She was wearing a stripy T-shirt, glasses, had lots of curly hair and was very enthusiastic about the show. We both talk a lot when pissed.
I think she enjoyed my work just because it was very bold, and I think she liked the look of me. Best known for her autobiographical works, such as the embroidered tent ‘Everyone I Ever Slept With 1963-1995′, she also features in ‘Sensation’

Goran Persson, the Swedish Prime Minister, said: “Europe has moved to the left.”He said it was up to the EU and US to maintain economic growth to help prevent recession. “They are the two forces in the world which can actually resist recession. When Lionel Jospin, the French Prime Minister, put forward these ideas earlier this month, Britain said they were unnecessary.
But after the British U-turn Mr Blair said he would only agree to the proposed growth plan if it increased EU competitiveness and did not risk a return to high inflation.Britain’s scepticism was swept aside as Germany, France, Italy, Sweden and Portugal threw their weight behind moves to breathe new life into Europe’s economy. Though no university officially makes allowance for an applicant’s background, some Oxbridge colleges say they bear it in mind when deciding whether to admit students.The Cardiff study’s main purpose was to examine the difference in academic achievement at degree level between the sexes. It found women performed better on average but were less likely to get a First than men. Mature students and those with no formal qualifications, as well as those at comprehensive schools, tended to get better degrees..
Earlier research carried out at Oxford University in the Eighties suggested state school pupils admitted to the university were more likely to get good degrees than their independent school counterparts.At present, Oxford and Cambridge are campaigning hard to attract more comprehensive school pupils. Only about half the undergraduates at the two universities come from state schools. Cambridge has said that it would like to increase the figure to 65 per cent, the proportion of those who get three grade As at A-level who attend state schools. When all these factors were taken into account, it found that comprehensive pupils outperformed independent school pupils. The type of school a pupil had attended was one of the strongest factors determining whether he or she achieved a first.
