A moment of silence
Sports Illustrated senior writer Jon Wertheim will answer your tennis questions every Monday. Click here to send a question. Dear readers: Barely a day after the last ball was struck at the U.S. Open, I looked out the window of my Manhattan apartment as two airplanes rendered the dual pilasters of the World Trade Center shards of steel and concrete dust. I then watched as my neighborhood has become enshrouded in posters and fliers seeking help for lost relatives. I have heard hundreds of stories, one more heartrending than the next, of people like Rich Lynch -- a husband, father and former hitting partner of John and Pat McEnroe -- who are among the missing. Tennis never has appeared more trivial. Next Monday we will return to our regularly scheduled programming, our inane top-five lists, our quests to identify long-lost siblings. But out of respect for 5,000-plus families, like that of Rich Lynch, that are still seeking real answers, I'm going to hold off on your questions this week. Thanks for understanding. Peace, jw
