...second singles, Tseng and Columbia's Rohit Reddy played out the day's most compelling match, a three-set marathon amidst boisterous cheering from both squads...

Last month Belgium received more than three times its normal amount of rain. From the Rhine to the Loire and the North Sea, France too has been battered by Niagara-like downpours. Normandy and Brittany got almost one-third of their average annual rainfall from Jan. 17 to 28. In Rennes, the Breton capital, showers dropped an astonishing 70 liters of rain...
