GENE SCOTT • TENNIS SUPER HERO • BEST FRIEND AND LIFETIME MENTOR @10SBALLS WOULD HAVE BEEN 80 TODAY

As truth teller, tournament director, world champion and respected tennis voice, Eugene L. Scott served many roles and had a staggering impact on Open Era tennis.

VANTAGE POINT BY EUGENE L. SCOTT. OUT OF THE ARCHIVES. A MUST READ. LOTS OF USTA SAME OLD, SAME OLD.

If your bent is not for chatty columns, flip the page; this one's going to have the concentration span of a poorly groomed Cocker Spaniel. These days that's the nature of the news in our sport with no orderly progressions to follow from stage to stage.

VANTAGE POINT BY EUGENE L. SCOTT. WAKE UP USTA.

Reaction to U.S. Tennis Association decisions over the years has ranged from yawning to fawning. Not surprising. The Association is, after all, an organization of stout volunteers whose mission is ministration not innovation.

ANOTHER VANTAGE POINT FROM EUGENE L. SCOTT, “THE CLAY ISN’T RED @ THE FRENCH OPEN”

Perhaps it's just as well this country took a sabbatical at the French Open this year. With American men not surviving the second round, Venus and Serena losing in the quarters and Jennifer Capriati embarrassed in her semifinal, the stars and stripes hung at half-staff in a city where ambivalence to our flag would be considered progress.

WATCHING THE FRENCH OPEN SEMIS WITH PANCHO SEGURA 30 YEARS AGO BY EUGENE L. SCOTT

If Broadway's hottest musical is “Sunday In The Park With George,” the hottest act in tennis is the French Open. One does not have to reach far to find parallels. The setting is the same (Paris) and the musical's motif is the famous Impressionist painting whose color is dabbed on canvas by thousands of pigment points which could easily be metaphors for the quarter-million fans that inhabit Stade Roland Garros over its fortnight.

All-Star Game

Hey suits how come we don’t have one of those either? ... No super bowl. Or a... Super Bowl weekend... No All-Star game... Or All-Star weekend.... We have stars. We have super stars!!
