LUKE and MURPHY JENSEN
Despite reaching a career ranking of 4th in the world, the tennis
establishment wasn’t quite ready for the brothers’ arrival in 1993 when,
just six months into their professional careers, they pulled off a
staggering coup: A French Open Doubles win that catapulted them onto the
global stage. The brothers were a new breed bringing raised eyebrows and
disapproving looks at the chest butts, high fives and self-expression of
Rock and Roll Tennis.

Sponsorship of the Jensen-Schmidt Tennis Academy is by Bill Greene of the
GreeneLight Foundation. Bill has been teaching tennis to children and
adults with disabilities including the deaf and hard of hearing for many
years. He has teamed up with Vince Schmidt, coach of the Jensen brothers’
and the father of a son with Down syndrome to bring this opportunity to
members of the Down Syndrome Association of Los Angeles for just 3 days in
July.
