Former Davis Cup captain Tom Gullikson, who won 12 doubles titles in his career, hosted another action-packed, fun-filled Swingtime weekend where he was joined by Chris Evert, Stan Smith, Jennifer Capriati, Jim Courier, Venus Williams, Serena Williams, Todd Martin, James Blake, Mardy Fish, Robby Ginepri, Mary Joe Fernandez, Luke Jensen, Murphy Jensen, Aaron Krickstein, Harold Solomon, Wendy Turnbull among other stars of the game. Well-known athletes from sports other than tennis joined in on the weekend to help raise money for the Gullikson Foundation, including NFL Hall of Famers Paul Warfield and Larry Little and former Major League Baseball players Bill Gullickson, Jerry Royster and Tom Underwood. Among the exciting events during the weekend, Swingtime featured a sold-out tennis pro-am on Saturday morning that allowed 36 amateurs to play with and against the tennis stars in a round-robin doubles format. Following the pro-am, there were four one-set exhibition tennis matches in front of over 1,500 fans. Match results from the exhibitions were: Corina Morariu/Tom Gullikson def. Mary Joe Fernandez/Stan Smith 6-3 Justin Gimelstob/Graydon Oliver def. Robby Ginepri/Jeff Morrison 7-6 (7-4) James Blake def. Mardy Fish 7-6 (9-7) Jennifer Capriati/Jim Courier def. Venus Williams/Todd Martin 7-6 (7-5) | |
