Alas, Chanda’s run comes to a halt, as I feared, with a 6-3, 6-2 loss to Henin-Hardenne. Not that it matters much, since she would have been mowed down by Serena in the semis if she’d won, but still sad — Chanda’s still waiting for that breakthrough.

That said, she stalled in the fourth round of each of the last four majors, so this was an improvement — her first appearance in the quarters at a major since 2000, and just her second since injuries started messing with her game in ‘96.

Anyway, I’ve got a good feeling about Wimbledon.

She also remains alive in the quarters of women’s doubles with Daniela Hantuchova, who I may have mentioned earlier is hot, hot, hot.

Hi mate

I noticed you directly linked ot images on my page in this news update. I don't mean to be rude but please if you want to show an image don't directly link it, as long as it's not a copyrighted image all you need to do is save it and upload it to your sites ftp etc.

I only say this for one reason that direct links to images on my page have forced me to keep upgrading my bandwidth account which as you should know costs money.

Thanks if you could be kind enough to do this, I stress I'm not being rude or anything so don't take it the wrong way but it does cost me lots of money because of this.

Thanks

Hey Howard -- I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree with you. The traditional taboo against linking to an image on another site involves actually *displaying* an image from a remote server on my page -- such as if I'd used an IMG tag to remotely link to you. That would be stealing bandwidth.

But all I did is link to an image. Links are what the Internet's all about. I could link to one of your web pages instead of one of your images -- but that would just cost you more bandwidth. I appreciate your non-rude tone, but I don't feel bad about making a simple link. That's what web sites do.
