Sampras's Wimbledon run in doubt after foot injury
Pete Sampras battled through a 7-6 3-6 6-3 6-4 win over Karol Kucera as his left foot flared up. He was taken to hospital for MRI and treatment, with word due on his ability to continue. A chaotic day at the All England Club saw Kournikova and others lose while Jeff Tarango caused a stir by refusing to shake hands and blaming an opponent for an injury delay.
