There’s always a point of no return. For Brad, it was seeing Steffi Graf’s ponytail fly up and hit her in the face when she hit her forehand in a 1990 match against Jennifer Capriati. For Chris, it was watching a teenage Andy Murray at the 2005 Wimbledon stand up to then 14th seed Radek [...]

Voice of a U.S. Open tennis fan

September 11, 2011 By Romana Cvitkovic Leave a Comment
