I used to watch tennis a lot, but (along with almost all other sports except for the Iggles) I haven't lately. One of my all time favorite French Open moments had nothing to do with tennis.. back maybe 15 years ago, possibly more, one of the women's shoes came undone. In the process of bending over to tie it, she managed to expose rather more of her panties than is generally considered proper. The camera went right in for a close, tight shot--and the announcers for ESPN practically choked in the process of explaining that this was an unedited video feed from the French TV service and ESPN HAS NO CONTROL OVER CAMERA PLACEMENT OR ANGLES so just remember if you're offended it's all the fault of the FRENCH CAMERA OPERATORS WHOM ESPN HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL OVER.
