Blake, Gimelstob and Dent at Graceland

It has to be something special to get the stars of the ATP circuit All Shook Up, but you can't go to Memphis and not pay a visit to the home of the "King". And that's exactly what James Blake, Taylor Dent and Justin Gimelstob all did on the opening day of the Kroger St. Jude on Monday.

Accompanied by the ATP Magazine Show TV crew, the three Americans had a little less conversation and a little more action on their trip to Graceland, home of Elvis Presley. After going through the house, the trio were shown into the Trophy Room, where all of Elvis's gold and platinum discs are on display as well as a few costumes worn by the man himself.

"They called him the King, and one thing's for sure...the guy sure knew how to live!" said Gimelstob, while Blake added: "I think my mother was into Elvis years ago, but I've never really known that much about him, other than his music. It was pretty interesting to see it, and probably more interesting to see the tourists who went to visit."
