Anna and Jim took the Caymans.
Like Kournikova and Courier won the tournament in pair
The good tennis - is that enjoy the game of the last stars as possible and after they leave professional sports. Yes, they lost the speed of movement on the court, but the skills remain. And the force of the impact, too.
That's why held in the Cayman Islands Tournament "Tennis Legends" (by the way, the competition of the same name takes place every year in Moscow) drew the attention of the audience is very solid. And, of course, attracted the attention of part of the famous Russian tennis player Anna Kournikova.
Anna, alas, in the course of his career has failed to win any of the WTA tournament in singles. But the title of champion two grand slams in a pair she has, and most importantly, she was able to do more than perhaps any other tennis player of her generation. Due to women's tennis Kournikova began to look very different audience layers - from builders to bankers. And last brought to this sport a lot of money, making it one of the most attractive from a commercial point of view.
As for the "Legends of Tennis", then Kournikova, demonstrating excellent in every sense of the form, I won the doubles match, teaming up with ex-first racket of the world from the United States Jim Courier. Their rivals were famous French magician ball Iranian Mansour Bahrami and American Ashley Harkleroad, which, incidentally, was once called "the next Kournikova." The match was fun, mostly because of comic tricks Mansur, Kournikova and Courier but did not allow himself too much to laugh.
In another match of the evening we met two masters cannon innings - American Andy Roddick and Australian Mark Filippousis. Roddick - tennis player still quite recent past, while Filippousisa remember those who actively followed for tennis in the 90s. That is quite logical, won the youth.
