Tennis' troubles

Posted at 5:30 PM on September 8, 2009 by Bob Collins (0 Comments)

I stopped following tennis when Chris Evert's career ended and when John McEnroe stopped owning the U.S. Open crowd.

Apparently one of those things didn't end afterall:

The truth is, the high point of tennis in the U.S. wasn't because of the tennis. People just wanted to be there when McEnroe's head exploded.
