  • Les Meilleurs Tennismen 1Ère Partie
    Les meilleurs tennismen et tenniswomen de l’ère Open (1 ère partie) En tant que grand amateur de tennis, j’ai essayé comme de nombreux autres enfants de goûter aux plaisirs de la petite balle jaune. Des années de cours et deux saisons d’interclubs plus tard, je dus me résoudre à admettre que mes qualités tennistiques étaient inversement proportionnelles à mon amour pour ce sport. Les révisions avant les examens se faisaient toujours devant les retransmissions de Roland- Garros ou de Wimbledon, au grand désespoir de mes parents. Comme mes résultats scolaires suivaient, il leur était difficile de m’empêcher de regarder le tennis en direct. De même lors de mon parcours universitaire, les blocus à mon kot se déroulaient en compagnie de la petite balle jaune. J’ai vibré devant la victoire de Michael Chang à Roland Garros ou celle d’André Agassi sur le gazon de Wimbledon. Mais à côté de ces victoires flamboyantes, j’aimais tout autant suivre les parcours de joueurs qui, à l’instar d’un Poulidor en cyclisme, terminaient souvent placés mais rarement gagnants, comme Stefan Edberg par exemple. Une idée folle m’est soudain venue : essayer de déterminer les tennismen et tenniswomen qui ont été les plus réguliers en Grand Chelem, et ce depuis le début de l’ère Open ! Vaste chantier que voilà, d’autant que pour y parvenir, une approche scientifique rigoureuse devra être appliquée. Pour ce faire, il faut déterminer une méthode d’analyse la plus impartiale possible afin de répondre à cette question sans être ni partisan ni influencé par une certaine époque qui nous a particulièrement marqué.

The Dean Academy, a secondary London school in southwest England’s Glouces- tershire, closed October 23 to get rid of the false widow spiders. The spiders are commonly mistaken for their relative, the black widow spider, whose bite can be fatal. The school said no one has been bitten by the spider but local health authorities have advised it to close for the day to deal with the infestation. Experts say the Steodata nobilis, a species of the false widow, are becom- ing more common in the UK and are the most dangerous of the 12 species of biting spiders known in Britain.
