Nicolas Mahut walked onto the shadowless center court at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, where temperatures were into the 90s and still climbing, and thought, as he frequently does, about Wimbledon.
"Nothing is worse than what I did in Wimbledon. Every match, I pray it will be easier," he told reporters. "I can't complain any more."
Mahut shrugged off temperatures reaching the mid-90s to beat Alejandro Falla 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 in the first round of the Hall of Fame Championships on Tuesday — Mahut's first singles match since his loss to John Isner at Wimbledon launched them both to instant celebrity and landed the Frenchman's gear next door in the Hall of Fame.
