The rarified air of Les Avants, a small resort situated just to the east of Montreux at a towering altitude of 3,300 feet, would seem to be an unlikely competitive tennis staging arena. And yet this stock poster, printed in English with the blank panel awaiting the listing of grass courts, provides documentation quite to the contrary. And though this natty gent appears ready to take on any and all competition, you’ve got to wonder how easy it would be to concentrate on your ground strokes with the splendor of Lake Geneva and the Alps serving as awe-inspiring distractions.
