Freakiness at the French Open

I am watching the match between Tommy Robredo and Filippo Volandri (one of the three guys to beat Federer this year) at the French Open right now on TV. And, I can swear this is the first time in my life I have had such difficulty in differentiating between the two players on a tennis court. Not only do both players have identical shirts and shorts (which are not plain white, mind you), but they even have the same freaking bandana! Maybe their shoes are slightly different, but from the distance at which they are shown on TV, it's tough to make out anything about them other than that both are white. I normally take pride in being able to identify sportsmen, especially fielders on the cricket field, just by their gait and stance. But, this one really leaves me dumbfounded!

Please ... USA != World

Calling the finals of Major League Baseball "The World Series", and the NBA finals "The World Championships" was atrocious enough. I learned today that things are even worse than expected. The playoffs of the NCAA Women's Softball Championship are called the Women's College World Series. Crazy! Someone please tell all those people who came up with these names that the term "World" does not refer to the United States!
