Most players that go to the Olympics before it starts use their time to, well, train. That didn’t seem to be the case for Francesca Schiavone today.

Chandler: Say, Joe, I had a strange idea [...]
Do I even need to write a caption? Francesca Schiavone – you never disappoint! While your fellow players are merely leaning on a Porsche, you hop in some old car and pretend to take it for a drive.

Today was day 3 of the WTA year-end championships, 3 matches were played, each of the 3 matches went to 3 sets, and Kim Clijsters won her match (she’s seeded as number 3).
