    Bonjour again, folks! I have been working on this notebook column of various assorted thoughts, miscellany, and so on from Roland Garros.

These guys are the story of men’s tennis right now, point blank, period.

That Skinner+Boucher wide shot was absolutely worth sticking with this dud of a game for.
