FORT WORTH, Texas — I feel compelled, for once, to begin with three answers to the basic question.
Because they are the best players in the world. Because they deserve as much. Because I happen to love tennis.
The question, of course, is why on a Tuesday night when the Cowboys are riding high at 6-2, when TCU fans are checking to see where the Horned Frogs placed in the initial playoff rankings, when Luka is doing amazing things even if his team isn’t, when the Stars are doing just fine and when the Houston Astros are making yet another World Series visit, why on earth am I writing about women’s tennis?
