...youthful impertinence, especially Chang's, rang through the tournament and carried for a distance. "It's embarrassing," grumbled John McEnroe all the way from England, where preparing for grassy Wimbledon seemed a more profitable exercise than adding to 34 years of U.S. desperation on French clay. Since Tony Trabert succeeded at Paris in 1955, not one of the grand Americans -- not Stan Smith, not Arthur Ashe, not Jimmy Connors, not McEnroe -- had ever won the French. And the brazen way Chang finally did it galled McEnroe, 30, who muttered the fairly amazing statement, "We've got to teach these kids...
...body into shape. The Laundromat-fitness center features exercise bikes, jogging mats and twelve different weight machines along with its washers and dryers. The exercise circuit takes 25 minutes, just enough time to get through the spin cycle. At 75 cents a wash and $3.50 a workout, Owner Greg Trabert insists, business is "fantastic."

By debasing tennis-its standards, its traditions, its reputation-and jeopardizing its future . . . Tennis must clean...
Rosewall has been playing the same sort of stylish tennis since the '50s, when he and another Australian teenager, Lew Hoad, were beating U.S. Davis Cup teams manned by Vic Seixas and Tony Trabert. It has helped him win major titles over an incredible span: the U.S. championship in 1956 and again in 1970; the French championship in 1953 and 1968; the Australian championship four times, the first in 1953 and the most recent just this year...
