Fish has won two singles and three doubles titles on the ATP tour along with a Silver Medal at the Athens Olympics. Grosjean, who has won four singles and five doubles titles in his career, has been ranked as high as No. 4 in the world.

“Naples and Stock Development’s The Players Club & Spa at Lely Resort and Olde Cypress continue to be a great host for Swingtime,” said Gullikson. “Mardy and Sebastien are just the beginning of another incredible field of celebrities.”

Over the past ten years, Swingtime has raised more than $1,000,000 for The Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation. The Tim & Tom Gullikson Foundation was established in 1995 after Tim was diagnosed with malignant brain tumors. Tim Gullikson, who as a coach helped establish Pete Sampras as the top player in the world, died in 1996, at age 44, after losing his battle with the disease. The Foundation’s mission is to fund care and support programs to assist brain-tumor patients and their families in managing the physical, emotional and social challenges presented by the illness. Among other things, the Foundation funds information and support phone lines for brain tumor patients and their families, sends children who are brain tumor survivors to camp, and gives college scholarships to students who have been affected by brain tumors.
