Half a dozen years ago, when I was the editor of Fort Lauderdale Magazine, we had a photographer who specialized in tennis. One day Art came in and showed me a photo of a small girl holding a baguette outside a boulangerie in Paris. This, Art explained, was an up-and-coming local kid who had recently played in the French Open Juniors. He had been following her for years, and had gotten to know the family. I thought she looked too short to ever make it on the professional tour, but that’s why I’m a writer and not a tennis scout. Her name was Sofia Kenin.
