Martinez, an ignored champion
WIMBLEDON, Ky 5 It s tough ng a Wimbledon champion, especially when everyone is con
vinced someone else is going to take your title, reports AP
But Conchita Martinez
isn't i 'oui I,. Kill oxer ,md let
Steffi Graf stroll up to win her sixth championships
Tm the defending cham pion," Martinez said "Nobody can take that away from me. Of course Steffi has won it four or five times. But right now I'm (champion! and Tm going to try and win it again."
The bookmakers favour
Graf. They make Graf a 4 9 shot to win her sixth title while Martinez is rated 7-2
The 23-yeat old Spaniard gets defensive when it's suggested she only won the title last year because Graf was knocked out in the first round by Lon McNeil.
She falls far behind Graf when it comes to popularity with the crowd, and last year she broke the hearts of Martina Navratilova's fans by heating the nine time titlist in her final Wimbledon.
Martinez also feels she should have been accorded more appearances on Centre Court, bearing in mind she is the defending champion.
But she feels she can put these distractions behind her and beat her countrywoman, Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, on Thursday and reach the final again
"The only thing I can tell you right now is that I'm incredibly happy to be in the semifinals. I'm there," the No. 3 seed said after her 7-5, 7-6 (7-5) victory over eighth-seeded Gabiiela Sabatuu.
Tm sure some things are upsetting me but the worst t ning to happen now is to let these things upset me."
It's probably in the champion's favour that Sanchez Vicario hasn't even made the Wimbledon semifinal before, let alone the final. Even though she is seeded one place higher, Sanchez Vicario is considered the underdog for the match by the bookmakers.
I have to be very happy because I've never passed the quarterfinals before," Sanchez Vicario said after her 6-4, (7-6), (7-4) victory over Brenda Sehultz-McCarthy of the Netherlands
"h's going to be good for us that one Spanish player is going to the finals '
