...show was myths-in-water and the script was informed from that from the beginning,” writes Zimmerman—who first produced the play years ago at Chicago’s Lookingglass Theater—in an e-mail. “The real unifying thread is the water. Almost all the stories ‘bend’ to the water in some way, use it in some way, are amplified by it in some way.

It just won't happen. "The one common thread running through his losses is that all those guys play spectacular defense," notes Jim Courier, a former top-ranked player in the world. "What would be winners against most players aren't, and that can frustrate Roger." Nadal, no. 3 ranked Novak Djokovic of Serbia, and Argentine Guillermo Canas, who have all recently beaten Federer, can catch...
