Email UpdatesTennis on the Thames with John McEnroe and Monica Seles
By Your Host • Category: Tennis Locations • 20086/28/2004: Commuters crossing the river on Monday morning did a double-take as a tennis court floated downriver from the London Eye to Tower Bridge with John McEnroe and Monica Seles playing a match.
The floating tennis court was a publicity stunt by American Express to promote their Tennis at Tower Bridge event in Potters Fields Park this week.
The court will be lifted from the barge onto a scaffolding platform constructed above the grass in the riverside park.

Speaking after today’s game Seles said there had been no clear winner: “It was such a thrill to play with John on a barge on the Thames. I have never done anything even close to this before. I am thinking this was a dream.”
