And how fitting to find such a book in a such a place at such a time – just as we were clearing away his funeral supper

My brother Luke was a strapping 35-year-old. In the course of packing up some of my brother’s things last Friday I unzipped a bag and looked inside to check it was his A copy of William Burroughs’s Junky was resting on the top I looked no further, this was indeed his bag. Three more wild cards in the men’s singles and two more in the women’s singles have still to be announced.Pat Cash, the 1987 Wimbledon champion from Australia, has also been given a wild card for the qualifying competition at Roehampton.. Mark Petchey, Chris Wilkinson, Danny Sapsford and Luke Milligan for the men’s singles and Sam Smith, Shirli-Ann Siddall, Claire Taylor, Lucie Ahl, Julie Pullin and Clare Wood for the women’s singles. The doctors told me that with extensive physiotherapy, returning in four to six months is realistic.The German was out of the game for three months earlier this year with another knee injury and was a fourth-round casualty at the Australian Open and complained afterwards of an infected toe.Andrew Richardson, beaten by Tim Henman at Queen’s Club yesterday, is one of 11 British players who have been given wild cards for the singles events at Wimbledon, which begins on 23 June.

During the two-hour operation, the kneecap tendon and the cartilage were restored.”When exactly I will be able to compete again is not clear. The clinic is run by Willy Dungl, who recently looked after the recuperation of the former world motor racing champion Nikki Lauda following a kidney transplant.In a statement issued yesterday Graf said: “I deeply regret that I cannot defend my title at Wimbledon this year.”During a medical examination of my left knee on Friday, fissures were noticed in the cartilage, a small superficial fissure in the kneecap tendon as well as its shortening.”As a result of the diagnosis, a surgical intervention on my knee was performed this morning. The 27-year-old German, who slipped to third in the world rankings – her lowest position for 10 years – after losing to South Africa’s Amanda Coetzer in the French Open quarter-finals last week, was forced to have the operation as her kneecap was irritating a tendon.
The seven-times Wimbledon champion was operated on at a private Vienna clinic by Dr Reinhard Weinstabl. Steffi Graf, the Wimbledon champion, is out of this year’s championships after undergoing a knee operation in Vienna yesterday that will keep her out of the game for four months She will also miss the US Open in August. Replacements: J Guscott (Bath and England), N Jenkins (Pontypridd and Wales), M Dawson (Northampton and England), K Wood (Harlequins and Ireland), D Young (Cardiff and Wales), E Miller (Leicester and Ireland).England Test squad, page 30.

Replacements: J Moss, J-P du Plooy, J Dalton, B Swart, W Lessing, I Macdonald.BRITISH ISLES: N Beal (Northampton and England); J Bentley (Newcastle and England), A Bateman (Richmond and Wales), W Greenwood (Leicester), T Underwood (Newcastle and England); M Catt (Bath and England), A Healey (Leicester and England); T Smith (Watsonians and Scotland), B Williams (Richmond and Wales), P Wallace (Saracens and Ireland), N Redman (Bath and England), J Davidson (London Irish and Ireland), R Wainwright (Watsonians and Scotland), T Rodber (Northampton and England, capt), N Back (Leicester and England). The two Mpumalanga locks who caused such mayhem in Witbank were both given wrist-slapping fines on Monday night and although Cotton was far from impressed he was of a mind yesterday to let sleeping dogs lie”It is now for other people to decide whether the fines do justice to the events that put Doddie Weir out of the tour,” Cotton said, “but just to put it in context, I don’t suppose they would even match Doddie’s consultancy fees, let alone the surgery he requires on his knee.”GAUTENG: D du Toit; J Gillingham, J van der Walt, H Le Roux, P Hendriks; L van Rensburg, J Roux; R Grau, C Rossouw, K van Greuning, K Wiese (capt), R Thorne, A Voss, P Krause, W Brosnihan. “Tony is an extremely good ball-player, a ball-winner at the back of the line-out and good in defence,” Fran Cotton, the manager, said “He has the qualities required for the kind of rugby we are trying to play and to compete with the type of opponents we are facing.”If the Lions have their way, they will never again face opponents like Marius Bosman and Elandre van der Bergh. We are prepared for a very physical match and it will be a matter of doing justice to the red shirt. There will come a time tonight when we will need to be a team.”A second straight defeat would flatten morale precisely when the tourists most need to feel good about themselves. Not only have they suffered their first reverse, lost three players to injury and one, Scott Gibbs, to suspension, but with Gauteng, Natal, the Emerging Springboks, Free State and two Tests on the agenda, there is not a single game that they can be remotely confident of winning.Quite when Diprose, who has given up a holiday in St Lucia with his girlfriend, can expect his first run in a Lions jersey remains unclear, but the selectors believe he will fit in when the time comes. This is a selection game for the first Test and mentally we are right up for the occasion.
