John McEnroe and Anna Kournikova were among a few other big name tennis players cutting a ribbon on a new tennis center at the Turning Stone Resort. After the ribbon cutting, the two played in an exhibition match.
Both big name stars say they were excited to be in Central New York for the event, especially since tennis centers are not as popular as they once were around the country.
Tennis professional Anna Kournikova said, “It is really cool to see we have a tennis center opening and it’s really important to keep them alive. it’s a beautiful wonderful place. I think it will get a lot of action here.”
