Jim Courier and Mark Philippoussis can maneuver quite well around a tennis court.
But can they slide on a curling sheet?
While in Toronto, Canada recently during a charity outing, the two standout players on the Champions Series tennis circuit decided to try their hands at curling, a sport that achieved cult status during the recent Winter Olympic Games.
This video on the official Champions Series website, linked here: http://www.championsseriestennis.com/video.php documents the entertaining curling exhibition. The website frequently features many behind-the-scenes Champions Series videos from players competing on the U.S.-based global tennis circuit for champion tennis players age 30 and over.
Courier and Philippoussis will join Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Mats Wilander, Mikael Pernfors, Wayne Ferreira and Jimmy Arias at the $150,000 Staples Champions Cup, to be played April 29-May 2 at the Agganis Arena in Boston, Mass.
