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:
“The newspaper is a Bible which we read every morning and every afternoon, standing and sitting, riding and walking. It is a Bible which every man carries in his pocket, which lies on every table and counter, and which the mail, and thousands of missionaries, are continually dispersing. It is, in short, the only book which America has printed, and which America reads. So wide is its influence.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“[My one tennis book] was very, very old. It had a picture of Bill Tilden. I looked at the picture and that was how I learned to hold the racket.”
—Maria Bueno (b. 1939)
