NEWPORT (Rhode Island): With four Grand Slam titles and two Davis Cup championships, Jim Courier was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday along with Frenchman Yannick Noah, Czech Jana Novotna and fellow American Butch Buchholz.
“My initial dream was to be a baseball player,'' said the 34-year-old Courier, who grew up in Sanford, Florida, but now lives in New York City. “I remember throwing a baseball at two-years-old in the house. My dreams of playing tennis just kept changing. It's been a remarkable road.''
