This is Lisa Bonder’s fourth trip to Wimbledon. By now, she knows the ups and downs. The ups, for example, are winning a first-round match and having the next day off. On Wednesday, such a day off; the 20-year-old player from Saline went shopping for a coat along fashionable Kings Road in London. She has been traveling 10 weeks. This was her way of rewarding herself.
“I haven’t bought anything in months,” she said, smiling.
Thursday, however, was not such a happy day. Bonder lost her second-round match, 6-3, 2-6, 2-6, to Anne Minter of Australia.
The ups. The downs.
