The Los Angeles Tennis Center on the campus of UCLA has a long-standing reputation as the place where the best in the game practice.

During the spring before the clay court season began, the location became Club Williams as Venus and Serena Williams worked out daily before heading to Europe.

Most recently, Tommy Haas was on hand, working on his game for the 2013 season.

Today, James Blake and Andy Roddick added their names to honor roll of tennis stars who have been using the courts in Westwood, California.

Blake, who was married in Northern California last month, may be establishing another training base on the West Coast.

Roddick, though retired, still enjoys hitting tennis balls. This was certainly apparent as he and Blake exchanged telling shots and comments as they entertained spectators who included agents, a photographer and enough tennis fan-students, to fill a small stadium.
