You cracked me up.
I guess it is safe to say that Roland Garros has to outsource their security.

Is Pico Monaco the same as Juan Monaco? If so, again, didn't know he was doing commentating, but happy to hear it.
Yes. Pico is his Argie nickname.
ESPN has enlisted a whole lot of people for this RG. Together with Monaco, they have David Ferrer, Feliciano, Lucho Horna, Mariano Zabaleta and Monica Puig. Unfortunately, the can't get rid of Clerc and his sidekick, a dumb Vennie that says the most inane and ridiculous commentary and how, during the first week, admitted to have never played tennis. His sport is golf.
As you know, I watch tennis with the remote in my hand, and my thumb on the MUTE button.

So glad that Casper won that set. For that nonsense to be what breaks your momentum would be so unfair.

But there really are a disturbing amount of people that have gotten on court since Seles. Like yeah, they react quickly, but not nearly quick enough. I've only seen one incident recently at a sporting event (not tennis) where the security guard reacted quick enough to prevent something bad from happening if that's what the person's intent was.

And sporting events of all kinds need to get hip to the fact that it's not just men who are problematic. The majority of the demonstrators in the last couple of months as far as I can tell have been women, so clearly they have gotten hip to the fact that security views them as less of a threat. Yes, I know they haven't been truly dangerous, but that needs to have a "yet" on the end of it, most don't seem to be dealing with a full deck.

And, in one of the Rafa matches, a little girl walked untouched by anybody and joined Rafa after the match was over. Sure, harmless, but as you say, there is a "yet" in there all the time.
