g rackets or dropping f-bombs on the grass -- than their female counterparts.Thats not conjecture, but analysis of the data -- t Antworten

Out on the lawns at SW19, the spirit of John McEnroe is not just alive and well, but spewing obscenities. Modern-day male tennis players are more prone to emotional outbursts -- whether thats raging at umpires, breaking rackets or dropping f-bombs on the grass -- than their female counterparts.Thats not conjecture, but analysis of the data -- the Wimbledon Diary has been crunching numbers (almost with the same enthusiasm as some of the competitors have been crunching rackets).Serena Williams received plenty of attention for bashing her racket on the grass during her second-round match, and then tossing it behind her into a cameramans lap. For that, she was fined $10,000. And the biggest punishment of the tournament so far went to Heather Watson, who was fined $12,000 for whacking her racket on the turf during her opening-round loss.But, according to the latest list that the International Tennis Federation have published, only one other woman has been fined during these Championships, with Spains Sara Sorribes Tormo docked $1,500.That takes the total fines to date for female players to $23,500, which is still considerably less than the men, who have had $39,000 taken from their prize-money. So far, some 13 different men have been fined, with Australias Nick Kyrgios appearing twice on the list, once for unsportsmanlike conduct in the opening round, which cost him $2,500, and then for swearing in his second round, for which he was fined $4,000.The man with the largest fine was Serbias Viktor Troicki, who lost $10,000 for ranting at an official: You are the worst umpire in the world.Remind you of anyone?Macs art attackMilos Raonic and McEnroe, the Canadians grass-court consultant, have been bonding over a shared love for modern art. No doubt McEnroe -- an ESPN analyst -- has been telling Raonic about his encounters with Andy Warhol in New Yorks Studio 54 nightclub. McEnroe first appeared in Warhols diaries in 1979.Not that McEnroe was that impressed with the artist. The tennis player just thought of Warhol as this weird guy who was always at parties taking pictures. He was astonished when Warhol turned out to be one of the most influential artists of the 20th century.Quote of the dayMurrays coach finds extra driveAndy Murrays coach, Jamie Delgado, is a local. He lives in Southfields, which is a 10-minute stroll from the All England Club. But you probably wont see him walking along the pavement. Delgado told the Wimbledon Diary how he often prefers to order one of the tournaments courtesy cars to take him to and from his home.Cover your ears: grunting is here to stayThe other day, before making the trip to London, Pam Shriver went to watch some junior tennis and must have been tempted to stick her fingers in her ears.My boy plays junior tennis and I was at a tournament in California and heard a 12-year-old who, pound for pound, had the loudest grunt Ive ever heard. That gave me pause. I thought to myself, Urrgh, were just letting another generation just grunt away. I dont see anything that the game is doing, such as in the rules, to change this, Shriver, also an ESPN analyst, told the Wimbledon Diary.This echoes what Nick Bollettieri has been saying: grunting isnt about to disappear any time soon.

According to a report from the Winnipeg Free Press, the Bombers will name Acting GM Kyle Walters to the post full time.CHICAGO -- In his second game with the Chicago Cubs, Jake Arrieta showed exactly why theyre putting him in the rotation for the rest of the season. The hard-throwing right-hander dominated the potent St. Louis Cardinals lineup for seven innings to lead Chicago to a 7-0 victory Friday. "Thats the kind of stuff the power arms can do when theyre throwing strikes and making pitches and you have a 91 mph cutter, slider or whatever you want to call it," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "He made some really good pitches in some key situations of counts. When you thought you might be losing good hitters, he made some key pitches on the black at 95, 96 mph." Arrieta (1-0) allowed two hits and two walks while striking out seven. After yielding an infield single to Carlos Beltran in the second, he got rookie Kolten Wong to ground into a double play. That started a streak of 13 straight outs (including five strikeouts) until Arrieta walked St. Louis starter Jake Westbrook (7-8) in the sixth. The next batter, Matt Carpenter, also walked to give the Cardinals their first threat of the game. But Jon Jay grounded into a fielders choice and Matt Holiday struck out looking to end the inning. In his only other start with Chicago, Arrieta allowed one run and two hits in six innings July 30 against Milwaukee. Hes thrown 13 innings in a Cubs uniform and allowed one run. Thats a far cry from the struggling pitcher who went 1-2 with a 7.23 ERA for Baltimore this season before he was traded to the Cubs on July 2. So which one is the real Jake Arrieta? The struggling power arm or the dominant pitcher he was on Friday? "Thats what Im capable of," Arrieta said. "Its just a matter commanding the ball and limiting my walks. Thats really whats gotten me in the past was too many free passes, letting guys get away when Im in favourable counts and pretty much keeping my foot on the gas and staying on the attack. "Ive made a conscious effort to get better at certain things and its starting to show." The Cubs got Arrieta all the runs he needed in the first inning. After Westbrook walked the bases loaded, cleanup batter Nate Schierholtz hit a two-run single to centre. Donnie Murphy added a two-out RBI single to make it 3-0. Chicago had been shut out in four of its past five home games. "We got some big hits. I think the biggest was Nates," Sveum said. "Weve had chances like that this year when we couldnt come away with one (run) and to come away with the big hit there and then Murphys two-out hit ... to get three runs on the boardd there was key in that game.dddddddddddd" The 27-year-old Arrieta should be entering the prime of his career, but hes still trying to establish himself in the majors. He thinks the trade to the Cubs has given him a fresh start free of his struggles of the past. "For me, theres no question that this change of scenery and this trade was huge for me in my career -- not only for me, but for the Cubs as well," he said. "I couldnt be more excited to be here and Im thankful to the front office for wanting me and bringing me into this organization." The Cubs snapped a four-game losing streak and are 7-7 this season against the Cardinals, who began the day trailing first-place Pittsburgh by two games in the NL Central. Westbrook finished with five walks but managed to grind through 6 2-3 innings to save the bullpen. He allowed seven runs -- six earned -- and eight hits with two strikeouts. "I was pretty much all over the place and the walks hurt you, especially when theyre in a row with no outs," Westbrook said. "It wasnt very good. Its always frustrating when you dont give your team a chance to win and do your job, which I havent been able to do the last couple outings." Since coming off the disabled list June 14, Westbrook is 5-7 with a 5.86 ERA. After the loss, he said his arm feels fine. Asked if Westbrook is certain to make his next start, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was non-committal. "Well see how he feels tomorrow," Matheny said "Thats not what any of us were looking for," he added. "Talked about it before: Sometimes he just has trouble finding the release point for his sinker and he couldnt find it today until it was too late." NOTES: Wong started at 2B and went 0 for 3 in his major league debut. His arrival relegated 3B David Freese, the 2011 World Series MVP, to the bench. All-Star leadoff hitter Matt Carpenter moved from second base to third. "I would say its a day-by-day situation," Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak said. "Im not saying (Wong) has to play every day. There are going to be times when we want to get David back in the lineup, so I imagine theres going to be some split playing opportunities." ... Cubs RHP Matt Guerrier was scheduled to have surgery on the flexor mass (near his elbow and forearm) of his throwing arm Friday. The surgery, performed by Dr. Timothy Kremchek, is expected to sideline Guerrier six to eight months. ... Joe Kelly (3-3) faces Cubs LHP Travis Wood (7-9) in the second game of the series Saturday.
