Though the Japanese did not distinguish themselves on the slow courts at Louisville, U.S. tennis fans will get a chance to see their stubborn base-line play on the faster grass of the tennis circuit (Southampton, Orange, Newport and the Nationals at Longwood and Forest Hills).

The more common, if inaccurate, term for this is color-blindness. I have had my condition since birth and have never found it a handicap (I am a licensed automobile operator) but when I faced the new exam schedule I found it composed entirely of indistinguishable blobs of lighter and darker gray...
