did he win the wimbledon too?

besides, that is my point. if he does not play, he cannot lose. so I am not so thrilled with his injury.

and when he will starts playing again there will be a convenient excuse of recovering from injury.

Actually I was thinking BOLIVIA (B+OLIVIA). I must admit I was not sure if "B" could be used as an indicator letter for "Boy," but I went ahead and used it anyway.
