Black and Blue

THIS is why newspapers need editors.

And talk about a missed photo opportunity. The story was mostly about an 18-year-old from Austria, Jurij Rodionov, who the Journal said "appeared to be wearing a royal blue brief with navy trim, which wasn’t going to fly. A tournament supervisor was called to the court to confirm the findings of the chair umpire. She did. Then she explained to Rodionov that his underwear might become visible when his shirt hiked up during the service motion. Rodionov fished through his tennis bag, and pulled out another blue-and-blue number. That got him sent back to the locker room. A spare was located. The match ensued."
