The Anti-Hobson's Choice

Frenchman Gilles Simon was faced with a father's fabulous choice Sunday. He could win — defeating world No. 1 Rafael Nadal in their fourth round match — or he could win — freeing himself to get on a plane to fly home and see newborn son Timothee, who was born as Simon was away at work, playing the U.S. open..

Not surprisingly, Simon won. ... Oh, and Nadal won, too.
