Who's the daddy?

Richard Williams sent a chilling warning to Wimbledon's umpires ahead of a prospective semi-final between his daughter Serena and Justine Henin-Hardenne.

Every year at Wimbledon someone dies, I'm telling you. It was Jack Lemmon one year, and then Walter Matthew (sic) Serena Williams reacts to the death of Katharine Hepburn

Serena was booed by the Parisian crowd when she lost to the Belgian at Roland Garros, prompting dad to join her in London.

"I really blame the guy who was sat in the chair, that was wrong," he told the BBC.

"If I had been there, I would have had to walk out on the court and say 'Hey, why don't you do your job? If you're not, I'm going to get you on your behind.'"

Serena and Henin-Hardenne are due to meet again in the semis if they come through their quarter-finals on Tuesday.

Spiderman star hits SW19

The All England Club's flirtation with Hollywood will continue on Tuesday when more scenes for the forthcoming movie "Wimbledon" are filmed.

Last week saw the British star Paul Bettany ("A Beautiful Mind") making his entrance onto Centre Court.

And this time his co-star, Kirsten Dunst ("Spiderman"), will be filmed on the Members' Balcony after Bettany is 'interviewed' by NBC's Mary Carillo.

This being Wimbledon, however, there is one important variable.

"All shooting depends on the weather."

Serena's seven-year itch

Monroe: Serena's favourite

Staying with the movie world, Serena Williams took some time out after her win over Elena Dementieva to give the world's press her views on the silver screen.

The world number one will be heading back to the USA next Monday, win or lose at Wimbledon, to take up an unspecified acting role.

And after paying tribute to Katharine Hepburn, Williams admitted that she is really a Marilyn Monroe fan.

Asked which was her favourite Marilyn film, she was unequivocal: "You know, it wasn't 'The Seven-Year Itch'.

"A lot of people liked that movie - I wasn't really influenced by it. I loved her in 'How to Marry a Millionaire.'"

Philippoussis on all fours

When Mark Philippoussis revealed after his epic win over Andre Agassi that his battle back to fitness had included "some crazy drills where I almost cried," he was, of course, asked for more details.

"It's just some stuff on long staircases," he said, rather unexpectedly.

"You know, coming down on my hands and legs... going down with my hands first."
