The two Tunisian women were both ranked outside the world top 500, and were large underdogs in their matches, and neither managed to get a set closer than 11-7. They had better luck when teamed together for the doubles, drawing another unheralded North African team and beating them before falling in the second round to a Taiwanese pair.

Famous quotes containing the words table and/or tennis:
“In this sad state, God Tender Bowells run
Out streams of Grace: And he to end all strife
The Purest Wheate in Heaven, his deare-dear Son
Grinds, and kneads up into this Bread of Life.
Which Bread of Life from Heaven down came and stands
Disht on thy Table up by Angells Hands.”
—Edward Taylor (1645–1729)
“Writing free verse is like playing tennis with the net down.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
