I advise that you bring plenty of water and towels and sweat bands!

I would plotz-Yiddish for "fall through the floor" "drop dead" kind of moments.

No, but I think there are some pretty good players on the island. If you're interested in playing and have the game for it, I wouldn't hesitate to register. Just practice up on your French score keeping: zéro, quinze, trente, quarante, égalité. "Out" is universal.

Next to the score, one of the most popular words heard on the French courts.
