Tennis has long been an afterthought for most fans. It has a small but loyal following, but the reality is that it's a niche sport. Part of that has to do with the dearth of dominant players. Gone are the days of the transcendent stars; John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Chris Evert, Navratilova -- all distant memories. Which is why selling the sport to a new generation of fans makes perfect sense: if the on-court product doesn't sell itself, commence with the marketing. And what better spokesperson for an international, high-brow sport than a countrified Jenna Maroney singing "Tennis Night in America."
Moving pictures ridiculousness after the jump.
