Olympic Fencer Tim Morehouse Takes to the Tennis Court To Support Bode Miller’s Charity Turtle Ridge and Harlem Youth Tennis with Gossip Girl’s Sebastian Stan and Justin Gimelstob at the Hublot Fusion Event

December 8, 2009

Yes, I am wearing fencing shoes and high socks! Had to keep it real for FENCING! My game is a deadly combo of fencing footwork and a baseball style swing! lol

(12/7/09) At the Sutton East Tennis Club today I took to the court to play in a celebrity tennis match to support 4-time world champion Skier Bode Miller’s charity endeavor Turtle Ridgewood which was donating $10,000 dollars to the Harlem Youth Tennis and Education program.

I have to admit I was a little nervous since I hadn’t picked up a racquet in a long time, but luckily I had a good teammate in 2-time grand slam winner Justin Gimelstob as we squared off in a friendly doubles match with Sebastian Stan and Bode Miller.

And, good news, Justin and I were victorious!

Proving  once and for all that the sword is mightier than the ski!  Well, who knows really? ;)   I think my underhanded serve which clocked in at a wicked 12 MPH on the radar was the deciding factor for sure!

Of interesting note
* The children were given t-shirts that read “I Love Bode Bang”… in honor of the new watch he is launching with luxury watch maker Hublot
* Sebastian showed up without shorts and had to play in his designer jeans, boots and shirt!! (Best dressed tennis player probably to ever take to the court!)
*Having a tennis ball hit at you by a professional and seeing how fast and with how much movement and spin is on the ball was an incredible site to behold! So much respect for those tennis players!
*Bode can really play tennis!  Wow!
