I hope it all gets cleared up, too.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07124489754017593105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229616072187725718.post-56850424947993252722016-08-15T22:05:27.999-05:002016-08-15T22:05:27.999-05:00Glad to see all these new blog posts.
One minor...Glad to see all these new blog posts. <br /><br />One minor correction. Puig won that amazing third set 6-1, not 6-2, saving six break points en route. <br /><br />I wonder what Gigi Fernandez is really thinking now. <br /><br />And just an anecdote: Watching Puig competing at the last Pattaya tournament, a fan insisted that PUR after her name indicated she was Peruvian. When I explained that Puerto Rico, a vestige of American colonialsm, was what the PUR stood for, he continued to quarrel, arguing that Puig isn't a Spanish name. I further explained that Puig is Catalonian, and almost always mispronounced by tennis commentators.<br /><br />Now the world knows much more about Monica, and hopefully there will be no more arguments about Peru.Arsdorfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02687356936671857632noreply@blogger.com
