May 20, 2013 By Chris Skelton Leave a Comment

One Premier tournament and one International tournament complete the Road to Roland Garros within striking distance of Paris.  None of the women involved are in serious contention for the clay season’s ultimate prize, but the absence of those elite names could lead to some tightly contested matches in playing fields without clear favorites.  I forwent [...]

April 29, 2013 By Chris Skelton 3 Comments
