Just in case any of you missed it, Savannah wrote a glorious preview of Roland Garros entitled "It's Time To Get Down and Dirty" that magnificently encapsulates this majestic sport we love so much.
Pure poetry.

Such a lovely piece. Roland-Garros is my favourite slam, because it's on my home turf, because the colours are beautiful, and because in France we learn tennis on clay so I can identify a tiny bit more with the feel of the court, the smell and the glorious slides.
Craig, thanks! That is a touching read for everyone.
I know, I read it and struck me like an ESPN tennis commercial, but more thoughtful and less histrionic. It had a fan's passion.
That was very nice. Thank you.
