Michelle Obama is teaming up with the first couple of tennis, Andre Agassi and Stefanie Graf, in a partnership between the United States Tennis Association and the first lady's Let’s Move campaign to fight childhood obesity.
In a new public service announcement debuting tonight on ESPN, Obama, Agassi and Graf are shown as ballpersons in a PSA that will air during telecast of the BNP Paribas Showdown at Madison Square Garden.
Let's Move celebrated its first anniversary earlier this month, while Agassi and Graf — parents themselves — have long been active with Agassi's Las Vegas-based foundation to help kids. Agassi, the eight-time grand slam champion and former #1 men's tennis player, is being inducted into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on July 9th.
