A first for the sport of tennis as in consecutive weeks, the sport graces the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine and Playboy magazine. Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal are both cover boys on Sports Illustrated for playing the “Greatest Match Ever” at the Wimbledon final. U.S. Fed Cup star Ashley Harkleroad is the first tennis player to pose for Playboy and is the cover girl of the August issue, now on newsstands. Both are sure signs that tennis is continuing to cross over into the main stream.
