Want Your Ass to Be Grass?

Couldn't jet over to the London this summer for Wimbledon? No worries. HSBC has set up a grass court in Midtown Manhattan for the next two weeks, where hackers and pros alike can get a taste of the All-England Club, complete with bad bounces and strawberries and cream. To kick off the fortnight, former No. 1's Jim Courier and Monica Seles put on a little exhibition this afternoon -- perhaps drawn to the event based on their mutual inability to ever rise to the occasion at the grandest tournament of them all. I have this annoying thing called a job, but reader Knox Lee kindly snapped these photos for us to enjoy. If only Monica had been in half as good as this shape when she returned to the tour in '95! Court details HERE.

She may have turned her back on NBC, but you can't keep Katie Couric away from 30 Rock in a tennis dress

Ohhh awful words about Monica.
She was better than S. Graff to the incident in Germany

After that S.Graf never had another rival.

Beacause of Martina, and even Chris Evert were better that german. Graf was alone in the wta without competion.
