Backstreet Boys Ask, "Tennis Anyone?"
If you like tennis and you love pop music, then you know that last year, at the first annual USTA (United States Tennis Association) Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, Hanson was the lucky band chosen to perform at the commencement ceremonies of the US Open. Getting in touch with what's on kids' minds (and in their hearts) this year, the USTA invited the Backstreet Boys to rile up fans, play some tunes and try their hands at some tennis! Their apperance delighted fans of all ages and made the even a smash hit!

Do You Get A Hallmark Card On Kid's Day?

Arthur Ashe Kids' Day is a tennis festival spanning 10 courts which features an incredible array of tennis matches, special exhibits and game clinics for improving techniques. Some of the big tennis names who wowed the mostly kid crowd with exciting matches ere Pete Sampras, Andre Agassi, sisters Venus and Serena Williams and Martina Hingis. Acting as host for the second year in a row was comedian Bill Cosby. But by far the biggest attraction to the sold-out stadium show were the sweet sounds of the BSBs. We know this because tons of fans screamed, sighed, and three tennis balls, t-shirts and hats onto the stage in appreciated!
