Since the snow decided to make an even earlier visit to my country this year compared to last year (this blog is quite useful in that sense; the first snow this year came on October 29), why not attend an indoor tennis tournament? It is nice and warm inside, there is no wind. Good idea then to go to Paris for the Bercy tournament, the last regular one of the year.
The hero of the tournament was Tsonga, the french coloured player, who went on the win the final. Was that a premonition for Obama's victory in the USA? Whatever the serious historians will say about this correlation, he played a flamboyant tennis. The partisan crowd was on its feet.
And what about the two best tennis players. At least, we got to see a bit of Nadal. He played a set before he was forced to abandon. Federer did not even show up and withdrew because of a back problem... I can only agree with a spectator who was waving a sign reading "we miss you Roger".
