Doubles

Open House, Day 7: Why Don't Doubles-Loving Fans Watch Live Doubles? - NYTimes.com: "Tennis is aspirational, like certain other distractions in life, and most people who play it recreationally, and who may have started as kids, in their dreams always dreamed about becoming great singles players, not great doubles players. In their dreams they held up the singles trophy on Centre Court. Doubles reminds them that they’re no longer young, that life can be disappointing, that not all dreams come true, and that not anything is possible. Well, maybe that’s a little too Dostoeyevskian, but you get the point."
