After another incident-packed week of sport it's time to pick out the best and worst efforts from around the globe and decide who deserves praise and who should be hanging their heads in shame.
Laura Robson
Laura Robson has already been through a lot, and it's only been the first week! It's not often a British woman survives into the second week at SW19 but Robson has done herself proud already.
The 19-year-old caused an upset when she dumped out 10th seed Maria Kirilenko in the first round, before ousting Mariana Duque Marino and
producing a wonderful comeback against Marina Erakovic.
With barely an hour on the clock, the 25-year-old Kiwi stood on the edge of victory when serving for a place in the last 16 at 5-4, but Robson fought back for an epic victory, and her reward is a last 16 tie with Estonia's Kaia Kanepi.
With a possible showdown with Serena Williams the prize, it could yet get even better for Robson as she continues her Wimbledon adventure.
Bad Week
Lions
It was a role reversal for the Lions in Australia who, after winning last week thanks to two missed late kicks, this time lost out when Leigh Halfpenny could just not muscle his effort over the posts from halfway.
The Lions had been leading and on the way to a series victory before Adam Ashley-Copper's try five minutes from the end broke the touring team's hearts and drew Australia l
evel at 1-1 with a tense 16-15 success.
It was a bitterly disappointing result for the Lions having been in front, but they had their backs to the wall for most of the second half as the desperate hosts piled forward, and it now sets up a massive decider in Sydney next Saturday.
Garikoitz "Gary" Atxa
It's not often a bus driver makes our list, but Atxa does just that this week after he made a huge impression on the Tour de France on his very first day driving for the Orica-GreenEdge team.
Atxa managed to get his bus lodged under the finish line of the very first stage of the 100th Tour in Corsica - leading to worried organisers deciding to bring the finish forward by three kilometres.
The move caused confusion in the peloton and led to a nasty crash six kilometres from the end of the stage, in which around 25 riders came down.
The bus was eventually moved, in time for the race to finish at the pre-planned spot after all, but
Orica-GreenEdge were fined nonetheless.
"I'm feeling terrible," said the driver. "This was my first day driving the bus so it wasn't a good start. What else can I say but 'I'm sorry'? I just hope my team have faith in me."
Rory McIlroy
Rory McIlroy cut a dejected figure after
missing the cut at the Irish Open, but insisted he would emerge from his slump sooner or later this year.
McIlroy started his second round well with a birdie on the first, but then made five bogeys and only four more birdies to finish his round on level par and remain on two-over for the tournament.
That was not enough for the two-time major winner to make the cut at Carton House in his home championship, and he was bitterly disappointed with yet another sub-standard event.
Pirelli tyres
Sadly, the tyres used in Formula One this year have caused as many, if not more, talking points than the cars or drivers on the track - and at the British Grand Prix they hit the headlines yet again.
Four drivers suffered high-speed blowouts during the race at Silverstone, including home hope Lewis Hamilton who saw his left rear tyre explode whilst he was leading the race.
After another three left-rear tyres failed at high speed in the race at Silverstone, it is understood
that FIA President Jean Todt has summoned F1's tyre manufacturer to appear at a meeting with team bosses and other relevant parties at the Nurburgring on Wednesday.
Sky Sports F1 understands Pirelli have been called by the FIA to attend a meeting of the Sporting Committee ahead of next week's German GP at the Nurburgring.
