 "Take your seats for the most unusual tennis tournament in the history of the world. Paris has gone crazy, flags and banners are everywhere. Every hotel is booked out. Queues at the stadium are huge, and the worldwide television audience is tipped to be in the billions." "Each nation is fielding its great names: the American team boasts Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Amelia Earhardt and many others, while British stars include PG Wodehouse, Enid Blyton and James Joyce. 'Supertom' Eliot is on sadly indifferent form, 'Because I did not serve too well. / Because I did not serve'. Groucho Marx confuses Heidegger - 'By the third set Marx was running around his backhand. By the fourth set he was running around his accountant. He was trying to get his accountant to run around his backhand when the match finished.' You've never seen anything like it."
