Star Sports, our only cable channel showing Wimbledon, has been oscillating between a replay of the Popp-Philippoussis match and a live telecast of the Henman-Grosjean match because of the darned English weather. From the way it looks, the Scud’s being Popped. Or, he’s Philippoussizzling with a Popp. The Aussie looks scary, visually. Like a slimmer …
