Besides the funny name, who is she?
Any of you who spend any time at all watching ESPN or paying attention to tennis have probably heard of Karolina Sprem. She's the young lady who managed to defeat Venus Williams in a tiebreaker the other day, giving her a straight-set victory over the two-time Wimbledon champion.

She's unranked in the tournament, and beats the number three seed 7-6, 7-6. Nice job, but a fluke, right?

Wrong.

Just Sunday, she defeated Bulgaria's Magdalena Maleeva 6-4, 6-4, to make her the first Croatian ever to advance to the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. Ever.

And that's not all!

Her name makes me giggle.
