Monica played tennis with John McEnroe on a grass court on a barge
on the River Thames in London on Monday 28th June! This was in aid
of Sport Relief.

There was a brief article about it on Trans World Sport which, for
those in the UK, is repeated on Channel 4 at 4:30am on Thursday
night (Friday morning) - the tennis is near the beginning of the
programme.
Monica said something like (this is from memory): "Playing John
McEnroe on the Thames - it doesn't get any better than that!"
(laughing). Her voice sounds much deeper than when I last heard her
speak (at Wimbledon 2002), but she looked leaner and fitter than in
recent years.
Monica will play World Team Tennis from 8th July!
