Ida Wobker DQ'd from Wimbledon girls' singles for throwing racket

LONDON -- A 15-year-old German player was disqualified from Wimbledon's junior tournament after she angrily threw her racket on the grass and it bounced into the stands, the All England Club confirmed Sunday.

The incident involving Ida Wobker occurred toward the end of the second set of a girls' singles first-round match Saturday.

Romanian opponent Maria Valentina Pop had won the opening set 6-0, and it was 5-5 in the second when Wobker missed a backhand long and lost her cool. She threw the racket toward the court, and it bounced up and into the few rows of stands lining Court 11.
