Everything’s classy at the Wimbledon Lawn and Tennis Club

I’ve tried to place this photo strategically to avoid both breakfast and lunch hours, but it’s hard when dealing with so many time zones (sorry, East coast). Here’s Marcos Baghdatis of Cyprus, enjoying sinus release (but you can call it a snot rocket) during his 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 4-6, 6-4 second-round victory over James Blake of the U.S. at Wimbledon on Tuesday. Key graph in the New York Times story:

Bahgdatis, seeded 32nd, refused to yield, however, breaking back to tie the set, 3-3, then holding his serve to go up, 4-3. Suddenly revived, Baghdatis won his serve again to lead, 5-4.

Not only was Bahgdatis revived, but Blake may have slipped on something. We’re not saying what.
