...gunner in a scout unit, Aaron Genevie often rode through Baghdad popped up out of the top of his humvee, manning a belt-fed automatic machine gun. Gunners are the eyes and ears of the driver, constantly scanning the horizon for threats. In Baghdad's congested streets, they are also traffic cops--waving cars out of the way, shouting at drivers who get too close.

While Ko does not have nearly as much professional experience as Uvarova, she has competed in several ITF Women’s Circuit tournaments in the U.S., along with representing Singapore this spring in New Zealand in the international Fed Cup. Uvarova quickly proved to be a tough matchup for Ko, as the Harvard player fell behind 2-0 in the first set before rallying to tie the score at two-all. Uvarova’s strong play earned her the next four games and the first set. Ko trailed...
