PARIS — Joakim Noah, like his father, is now a winner on the clay at Roland Garros. The former Chicago Bulls center teamed with Gabby Williams of the WNBA's Seattle Storm to beat former Detroit Pistons guard Richard Hamilton and Spanish tennis player David Ferrer in a basketball game on the famed clay of Court Philippe-Chatrier on Wednesday night. Noah and Williams won in three "sets" — the first two were to six points, the final set to three points. Noah's father, Yannick Noah, was the French Open men's champion in 1983.
