I love watching tennis and have the Tennis Channel on cable. It just appeared one day. The high level stuff is really fun, and it's nice getting acquainted with the less accomplished players.

BARELLAN, Australia — It does not look like a very special place. The friendly peppercorns, alive with the steady burr of a thousand bees, stand sentry over half a dozen car hulks, rusty monuments to the affluence that came with various peach and wheat crops of the nineteen-forties and fifties. Beside them is a rectangular patch of bare red earth, surrounded by a wire-mesh fence, and inhabited just now by a dozen strolling chickens and three large, bored dogs. Weeds sprout in it and broken bits of furniture litter it, but it is identifiable as a tennis court, because of the gappy, time-rotted net that drapes across its middle.
