White House National Economic Council Director Larry Summers knows a thing or two about tennis. Back in 2003, he told the Harvard Crimson he was on a “low-carb, high-tennis” diet, and he’s been known to throw down on court with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner.
Let’s hope his racket is better than his hands. During Monday’s World TeamTennis matches, a ball went up into the stands and right at Summers — who promptly fumbled it.
Also spotted in the crowd: Mayor Adrian Fenty and his wife, Michelle, Redskin legend Darrell Green, the Wizards’ Caron Butler and Javaris Crittenton and the recently traded Oleksiy Pecherov, DC Deputy Mayor Valerie Santos, former Senator (and tennis fanatic) John Breaux, former AOL chief Steve Case, “Top Chef” contestant Carla Hall, and former Duke basketball player (and DC United co-owner) Brian Davis.
Afterward, Williams breezed into the after-party at the Donovan House hotel — and then breezed right back out again before most partygoers could even recognize her.
