The Deuce Club, 5.22

Wroclaw, Poland is dotted with tiny newspaper kiosks on almost every corner and at every tram stop. You can buy candy (my brother loves the Bounty bars, which are like Mounds), newspapers, magazines, drinks, tram tickets, etc. They plaster up a couple of pages from the big papers to draw your interest, so of course I snapped a pic for the tribe when I saw this nice feature on Agnieska Radwanska; remember that I was there a couple of weeks ago, so it wasn't even Slam-prompted.

I didn't see a lot of tennis courts, but probably you'd have to go out to the suburbs for any big recreational facilities. There certainly isn't room for them in the medieval portion of Wroclaw or Krakow, surrounded as they are by moats (in Wroclaw's case, literally. In Krakow, they filled in the moat and made a park-like ring around the Old City). I did see one rather sad little tennis court on the way into Wroclaw on the train, and it was definitely clay. Perhaps if Radwanska's success continues, and/or if her sister does well, more tennis facilities will spring up in Poland.

As usual, here is your weekly OT space. Don't forget to keep sending in your own photos and stories to kick off the thread; it's your contributions that really keep this feature going.
