Which famous persons play tennis or are known to be interested in tennis?

Here are some politicians that I can think of:

Former German president Richard von Weizsäcker
Former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder
Boris Yeltsin
George Bush Sr.

There are probably many more. :)

Matthew Perry used to play, didn't he?

I remember during an Andrew Murray match last year, all the shots of Sean Connery in the stands. :)
Yeah, I believe he was a pretty good tennis player. He competedl in the national (canadian) competion.

Hmmm, are all those celebrities REAL tennis fans or are they just attending a match because it gives them world wide PR?

Queen Elizabeth
You're kidding, aren't you? Her Maj doesn't like tennis at all. The last time she attended Wimbledon was in 1977 when Sarah Wade won the women's singles title for Britain, and the Queen was reportedly seen reading a horse racing magazine while the final was being played.

He's been spotted at Wimbledon a few times as well. ;)

Margaret Thatcher was at Wimbledon this past year, I think I remember seeing her there other years as well.
