For close to twenty years, the face of American tennis has been Venus and Serena Williams. My mind wanders back to the silhouettes of two little girls scampering around the court, beads woven into their hair clacking in cadence to some faraway drum that was audible only to the two of them.
Donald Young Junior wins in four sets over Dudi Sela 6-1,2-6,6-1,6-0. Not sure where the rain delays were but fairly certain they had a few. I really don't know much about the match but we are certainly celebrating the win.
Just about halfway through the season, Dominic Thiem has pretty much already locked up ATP Newcomer of the Year honors. The 20-year-old Austrian started the 2014 campaign at No. 139 in the world and he is already up to 57th.
It has been a mixed bag of results for seeds through two days of the French Open men's singles tournament.
