JANA NOVOTNA would never admit that she choked when she famously threw away a 4-1 lead in the third set of the women's singles final at Wimbledon two years ago. And in the face of a far worse collapse here yesterday - almost unprecedented in the history of Grand Slam tennis - she once again refused to accept what appeared to be the only explanation.
She threw away a 5-0 (40-0) lead in the final set..amazing.
