"Aberdeen man drowned; Titanic sinks"

The Scotsman seeks - rather desperately - to put some Scottish spin on Wimbledon:
"AFTER a fortnight's 'diet' of strawberries and cream, the world's number one tennis player could be forgiven for craving a more substantial dish. For Roger Federer this could mean only one thing: rack of Scottish lamb.
Federer has requested that the main course at the prestigious Champion's Dinner, to be held after Sunday's final, be his favourite meal.
Chefs at the Savoy Hotel have ordered 200 succulent eight-bone racks from the Duke of Buccleuch's estate in order not to disappoint the Swiss player."

All very well if Mr Federer wins. But what if Mr Nadal carries off the trophy?
