In the latest twist of the ongoing “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ saga, TLC announced on Tuesday that the show will be continuing minus Jon Gosselin. Jon will still appear, “but on a less regular basis,” the network said.

A late improvement elevated Hakkinen’s McLaren-Mercedes to eighth, ahead of Martin Brundle, who crashed his Ligier and had to borrow Panis’s, and Johnny Herbert, whose Benetton lacked the grip of Schumacher’s car.After qualifying, a controversy arose as Schumacher explained how seven of his allocated tyres were accidentally damaged while Goodyear technicians were checking their temperatures late on Friday.”We only have five sets for [the race],” he said. “We need one set for the morning warm-up, one is too worn, and I’m not prepared to risk the damaged sets.”Schumacher’s damaged tyres lost only four pounds of pressure overnight and elsewhere in the paddock rivals believe that the claim is a ruse to obtain two fresh sets of tyres – which could be highly advantageous in the race – by political guile.”The Goodyear engineer has admitted that he left the probe too long and caused the damage,” Ross Brawn, the Benetton technical director, said, “but the stewards say there is no precedent for replacements. He and his team-mate Gerhard Berger, whose Ferrari was never well balanced, had to watch Hill, Coulthard and Schumacher exploit more powerful Renault engines.They are separated by Rubens Barrichello and Olivier Panis. Barrichello was delighted with the performance of his Jordan-Peugeot, while Panis made full use of the Ligier team’s home track to take sixth place on the grid.

I think I could have got very close,” the German said.Behind them, Coulthard, fitter after a recent operation for tonsillitis, showed the ability to match Hill’s speed at the intermediate points round the lap, but each time something happened to spoil the final section and he had to be satisfied with third place, ahead of Jean Alesi.Ferrari have not impressed so far this weekend, and in final qualifying Alesi suffered from time lost to a hydraulic failure in the morning. “I thought I had something in reserve, but I had to fight too much oversteer and we lost a little speed on the straight I also had Mika Hakkinen in front of me on that last lap. For Rusedski, however, these setbacks concentrate the mind rather than unsettle it.The doubts and fears we normally associate with home players do not seem to trouble Rusedski, who displays his mercifully uncomplicated outlook on life by going off to watch his aspiring actress girlfriend perform in Chekhov’s Three Sisters and quite happily telling the press that he wasn’t sure if he understood it.Which brings us to Rusedski’s PR battle, skilfully fought in the early stages, but showing signs of excess towards the end of the first week at Wimbledon. After all, in the second round he lost the first set to Guy Forget, and he did the same in the third round against Olivier Delaitre. Few players brought up in Britain play the way Rusedski does – with a confident physicality that is more than mere brute force, however much his profusion of aces puts him in the upper echelons of the power players.It is not lack of talent that British players have been accused of so much as lack of nerve So far Rusedski has passed his tests impressively. After all, the value of a victory must increase exponentially the further into a tournament it occurs, and if Rusedski were to beat Sampras in the fourth round tomorrow, that result alone would be worth more to domestic tennis than the 139 victories British players have had at Wimbledon since 1968 put together.As it is, Rusedski has galvanised the game in a way unimaginable before his arrival.

The best year was 1993 when eight entrants played 15 matches for an average of 1.87. After Rusedski has played Sampras tomorrow the average will stand at 1.70 (10 entrants, 17 matches played), but the new British No 1 will have to reach the semi-finals if the 1993 record is to be beaten.That is perhaps a rather harsh way of looking at it. Since the Open era began in 1968, they have played an average of 1.52 matches at each Wimbledon. The worst year was 1990, when seven entrants played only eight matches, an average of 1.14. This was something we are all much more familiar with: first-round defeats for six of the remaining seven Brits, only one of whom even managed to win a set.Statistically, 1995 has been a slightly better than average year for the Brits at Wimbledon. Maybe Henman and Hugh Grant should start a support group.Beyond Rusedski, Wilkinson and Henman there was an underlying trend.

But will Greg Rusedski take British tennis into a new climate of success, or is it destined to remain forever frozen in the wastes of perennial failure?

It has been a bizarre week for the domestic game, one in which no one could have failed to spot the irony of the only two Brits to reach the third round: Rusedski, lately arrived from Montreal, and Chris Wilkinson, who turned his back on the British tennis establishment in protest at his new compatriot’s adoption.
Then there was Tim Henman – as impressive in defeat against Pete Sampras as he was in victory over Paul Wekesa, but even better remembered for succumbing to what suddenly seems a syndrome – that of the charming, good-looking young Englishman brought down by “a moment of madness”. Asked what it had been like to play five tough sets on a court hot enough to fry eggs, he replied: “Fortunately, I’m not an egg.”Contributions from Andrew Baker and Simon O’Hagan. IT IS allegedly the solitary swallow that tricks us into thinking summer has arrived This year, however, we are being led on by a Canada goose. It may be all that bluffing that gives Martin a good line in deadpan humour.

Jon and Kate Gosselin aren’t the only ones conferencing with lawyers. TLC, the network that introduced the bickering couple and their eight kids to the nation, has not only put the kibosh on “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ but also filed a breach of contract lawsuit Friday against Jon Gosselin.
