Wimbledon Clinics helps tennis champion Serbian tennis star Nenad Zimonjic fell awkwardly during a semi final in this summer's Wimbledon doubles championship and fractured the radial bone in his left wrist. Fortunately bad light meant he could come off court soon afterwards and receive treatment. He came to see Duncan Tennent, specialist orthopaedic surgeon at Wimbledon Clinics. Zimonjic returned to court the next day with his non-playing left wrist in a special splint and went on to win the semi final and then the final with his doubles partner Daniel Nestor. He later joked that having his wrist in a splint may have helped him toss the ball straighter for his serves!

Olympics keep sports physician busy Wimbledon Clinics sports physician Dr Mike Rossiter has never been so busy on a hockey tour. His list of eight MRI scans, 17 ultrasounds and six players requiring surgery, reads like the medal tally of Team GB! Mike was team doctor to the men's and women's Olympic hockey teams in Beijing. He reports that, despite the injuries, morale was fantastic among all the participants who shared the overall feeling of triumph – particularly since the hockey team were sharing accommodation with the cycling team. Mike particularly enjoyed the chance to mix with top international sports stars, such as when he swam alongside Michael Phelps in the pool.
