  • Linda talks to Peter Bodo, senior writer for Tennis Magazine, about the surprise upset today of American favorite Pete Sampras by Russian Yevgeny Kafelnikov (ka-FELL-nik-ov) at the French Open. Bodo says that Sampras's proven inability to play well on clay, along with the stress he has recently felt as the top seed in men's tennis, contributed to his loss.
