Since this is week two of Wimbledon, I thought gazon would be an appropriate word. Even though pluie (rain) might be more apropos.
Tennis sur gazon à Wimbledon.In French, le gazon is the surface they play on in England. The word comes to French from a now-defunct Germanic language spoken by the Francs. Specifically, it means grass that is manicured into a short, compact form.
Tennis, anyone ?
