The Frenchman, looking lean and fit, dropped a set in accounting for the very goodAustralian James Duckworth in round two, fought hard to beat Kevin Anderson in straight sets, then accounted for the American Jack Sock 6-3, 6-7, 6-2, 6-2.

Jazzercise, a Carlsbad, Calif.-based company that markets what it calls "the world's leading dance-fitness program," settled with Portnick, agreeing to drop the "fit appearance" standard.
The other day, Charlie Watts ("the drummer from the Rolling Stones," said his testimonial letter on the wall) was due to drop by for a fitting.
