John McEnroe

In more pop culture auction news, former tennis great, John McEnroe, is selling a portrait that Andy Warhol made of him and his then wife, Tatum O'Neal at Sotheby's in London next week.

The acrylic and silk-screen portrait, based on a Polaroid of the couple taken by Mr. Warhol himself, was purchased by Mr. McEnroe at a charity auction for approximately $30,000 in 1986. The work is now expected to fetch up to $687,000.

Mr. McEnroe is now a television commentator at major tennis tournaments and Ms. O'Neal was arrested for scoring crack on the Lower East Side earlier this month.

Don't forget! You can still go bid on Tony Soprano's signature short-sleeved button down shirts for $500 at Christie's tomorrow for a better bargain.

In addition to the big news of Rafael Nadal's injury, the big news out of yesterday's play was the number 7 Fernando Gonzalez of Chile lost in five sets yesterday, becoming the highest-seeded player to crash out of the tournament and potentially clearing a path for American Robby Ginepri to move into the third round.

Also last night, boy-giant John Isner won in straight sets, setting up a tantalizing third round match-up with Roger Federer to be played this weekend.
John McEnroe said of Isner: "This guy's gonna be a headache for Federer."
