It’s a Feat of Clay Simply to Watch This

Like many Americans, I consider soccer to be a painfully boring sport. But it does have a close competitor for the title of “most boring,” and that is clay-court tennis.

The French Open could put insomniacs into a coma. You could go out for a pizza, a hot dog and three croissants and still never miss a point in those interminable baseline rallies.

The French haven’t gotten it right since World War II.

Former President Bill Clinton wasn’t that happy that Andre Agassi lost to Sebastien Grosjean at the French open. Agassi might have been French fried, but it would have been worse for all concerned if he had been playing Monica Seles.
