Not all Wimbledon players have had such a gruesome ending. Others found fame, fortune or spiritual peace in the most unlikely twists of fate.
Elegant Indian Vijay Amritraj will be remembered, not just for his Wimbledon exploits but for his cameo role in the James Bond movie Octopussy. He wielded his tennis racquet to defend Roger Moore from the villains.
Former British number one Annabel Croft later earned fame as a television presenter and on a reality television show where she won a celebrity wrestling competition.
