When public address announcer Charlie Brotman asked who was ready for the championship final Sunday at the Legg Mason Tennis Classic, there was at best polite applause. On a day with temperatures in the 90s, it's understandable that enthusiasm was tepid in the minutes before the match - but then more than a few fans left Rock Creek Park during a rain delay.

It is unlikely that any but the most ardent tennis fans in Rock Creek Park this past week even knew who Radek Stepanek was. The 32- year-old from the Czech Republic wasn't on any Legg Mason Tennis Classic posters or bus ads like former champ Andy Roddick, who withdrew before even playing a match.
