Jim Carrey to play in the USTA Tennis & Educational Foundation Pro-Am

Actor-comedian Jim Carrey was one of seven amateurs to play in the annual USTA Tennis & Educational Foundation Pro-Am on Friday morning.

Carrey, who arrived at the Open with his girlfriend, actress Jenny McCarthy, and his personal tennis coach, Stephen Bauer, played in a round-robin format where all the participants had an opportunity to partner with six different tennis legends: Grand Slam champion Stan Smith, former U.S. Davis Cup captain Tom Gullikson, 1990 French Open champion Andres Gomes, Jimmy Arias, Eliot Teltscher and Anne Smith.

``I'm a fetus in the first trimester,'' said Carrey, analyzing his tennis ability. ``I miss a lot, but all I care about are the points I win.''
