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 that's raging at umpires, breaking rackets or dropping f-bombs on the grass -- than their female counterparts.
That's 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 cameraman's 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 Spain's 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 Australia's 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 Serbia's Viktor Troicki, who lost $10,000 for ranting at an official: "You are the worst umpire in the world."
Remind you of anyone?
Mac's art attack
Milos Raonic and McEnroe, the Canadian's 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 York's Studio 54 nightclub. McEnroe first appeared in Warhol's 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.

Murray's coach finds extra drive
Andy Murray's coach, Jamie Delgado, is a local. He lives in Southfields, which is a 10-minute stroll from the All England Club. But you probably won't see him walking along the pavement. Delgado told the Wimbledon Diary how he often prefers to order one of the tournament's courtesy cars to take him to and from his home.
Cover your ears: grunting is here to stay
The 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 I've ever heard. That gave me pause. I thought to myself, 'Urrgh, we're just letting another generation just grunt away'. I don't 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 isn't about to disappear any time soon.
