Tehran Sociologist Ehsan Naraghi, who received his doctorate from the Sorbonne, believes that under the pressure of economic development there has been a tragic and costly neglect of Iranian culture.

But they fear that an overabundance of lucre has choked off thoughtful cultivation of the sport's foundations. Banned from such prestigious but amateurs-only events as Wimbledon and Forest Hills, professional tennis players once barnstormed in station wagons to play for a cut of the gate at a high school gym.
