NOTEBOOK Wimbledon

Philippoussis gets angry: Mark Philippoussis lost his temper -- and the match. Angry at what he felt were poor line calls that were hurting his cause against Tim Henman, last year's runner-up lit into chair umpire Enric Molina on Monday. "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Open your eyes!" Philippoussis yelled, then peppered his diatribe with curses. The 11th-seeded Australian was given a warning for using an audible obscenity, then turned to Molina and began screaming again. "I should give you a warning!" said Philippoussis, who eventually was beaten 6-2, 7-5, 6-7 (3), 7-6 (5) by Henman in the fourth round. "You're not looking!" He thought he was hurt by a line call that allowed Henman to serve for the second set (TV replays appeared to show Philippoussis had a legitimate gripe there) and another that helped Henman force the third-set tiebreaker. "A lot of people swear. I was clearly upset. I showed it. I'm not going to apologize for that," Philippoussis said. "If I do argue, there's going to be a clear case to argue. I don't do it for nothing -- there's no apologies."
Paying dividends: Maria Sharapova's parents lived on different continents for two years and funneled the family's funds into her tennis career. Spotted by Martina Navratilova at a Moscow exhibition when she was 5, Sharapova moved with her father to Florida at 7. Her father, Uri, got a job as a tennis coach while her mother waited in Russia for a visa. At 9, Sharapova was invited to join Nick Bollettieri's tennis academy, the training ground for Andre Agassi, Monica Seles, Anna Kournikova and others. Sharapova, seeded 13th at Wimbledon and into the quarterfinals, said she doesn't feel any pressure to succeed. "I know my parents have made a lot of sacrifices in my life and they always try to do the best for me," she said. "But I know that at moments like these I can return them with favors."
Goran's legacy: Goran Ivanisevic's legacy at Wimbledon is a generation of budding standouts who took up tennis because of him. The 2001 champion might have lost in the third round, ending a 15-year career, but his Croatian countrymen outlasted Ivanisevic. Two, Mario Ancic and Karolina Sprem, reached the quarterfinals Monday. Ivo Karlovic -- who lost to defending champion Roger Federer -- joined Ancic to give Croatia two men the fourth round at a Grand Slam tournament for the first time. "Many kids just pick up the racket because of him. He was such a character, everybody adored him," Ancic said. "That guy has lots of influence on all of us." He's known Ivanisevic for years, having been a ball boy at tournaments in their hometown of Split. Also, Ancic's brother was a Davis Cup teammate of Ivanisevic's. When Ancic was 10, he got a chance to hit some balls with Ivanisevic, who sent him a cell phone text message just before Monday's match against Xavier Malisse. "He's a great guy," Ancic said.
