Martin on a shopping spree


Supermarket Sweep

Memphis (February 21) - Todd Martin, Bob and Mike Bryan and Jeff Morrison made a mad dash through a Kroger grocery store in Memphis on Tuesday during the Kroger St. Jude. The four joined Alexandra Stevenson and other WTA players as they raced on a timed shopping spree for charity.

The men and women, playing together in Memphis for the first time, challenged each other to two-minute sprints through the aisles filling grocery carts with food, all of which was donated to the Memphis Food Bank. While the competition was heated, the Food Bank was the big winner as the players raked in $5,419.82 worth of food for the local charity.

Players Visit Children

Leander Paes, Davide Sanguinetti, Taylor Dent, Paradorn Srichaphan and Justin Gimelstob made a visit to the St Jude Children's Research Hospital on Wednesday. The players joined Mercedes-Benz in presenting a limited edition miniature SL300 pedal car for the children to enjoy and toured several wards of the hospital.

Paes, who is very active with Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in India was very moved by the visit. "To see these children is an incredibly moving experience," said Paes. "We realize how fortunate we are to live our lives and see the happiness that they have from a simple visit."
