INDIAN WELLS, CALIF.—Last week I wrote a post asking whether Victoria Azarenka, now that she was No. 1, had it in her to become to a popular No. 1. The idea came from watching fans head for the exits this week as her matches were announced. A few days later

Easter is a day of renewal, and you could feel that spirit in the younger, scruffier quadrants of Brooklyn’s Ft. Greene Park last Sunday. Back was the longhaired girl in Chuck Taylors carrying a skateboard, walking quickly, smiling to herself. Back was the young man laying flat on his back
