Pictures of Wimbledon

Wimbledon has ended for another 12 months! As usual we were treated to the perfect fortnight of playing tennis, with a good amount of shock defeats and tight victories.

Looking straight back across competition, there is certainly plenty to consider - from unseeded Briton Barry Cowan's thin beat against Pistol Pete Sampras inside males's competitors, to petite Belgian Justine Henin attaining the ladies last, after storming after dark hotly-tipped American Jennifer Capriati.

Uk hopes rested, as always, with Greg Rusedski and Tim Henman. Rusedski began really, but could not make it through the fourth round.

Tiger Tim, inspite of the massive assistance from Henman Hill while the remaining portion of the country, cannot rather achieve that historic last place.

One reigning winner - America's Venus Williams - retained the woman ladies singles crown.

But in the males's competition there clearly was an innovative new hero, as Croatian wild card Goran Ivanisevic won an epic final against Australian Pat Rafter.
