In 1993 Jensen captured his first Grand Slam title at the French Open with his brother Luke, and was soon on his way to becoming part of one of the most popular doubles teams in the history of the game. Jensen switched gears and focused on acting and entertainment following his tennis career. Bringing his guitars to Hollywood, he landed the role of Ivan Dragomir in "Wimbledon," starring Kirsten Dunst and Paul Bettany. Jensen's second movie, 2005's "Tennis Anyone...?" stars Paul Rudd and Stephen Dorff.

Appearing on "The Today Show" and "Live with Regis and Kathy Lee," Jensen has also been featured in Rolling Stone and Sports Illustrated, and endorsed products such as ROLEX, Oakley and Reebok. He is currently the Hollywood reporter for DEUCE magazine, interviewing stars like Gavin Rossdale, the lead singer and songwriter for the band Bush. Jensen is also writing an original screenplay.

They defeated the formidable team of Legends Owen Davidson and John Newcombe in three sets.

Drysdale was ranked several times in the world's top ten in singles, and he earned his way to being number one in the world on the senior tour in 1989. The highlight of Drysdale's singles career was a finals showing in the 1965 U.S. Championships.

Throughout his celebrated career, he netted 35 singles and 24 doubles titles. Another title he proudly held, off the courts, was that of founder and first President of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). Cliff Drysdale went from making the shots - to calling them.

He had his best week ever on grass when he won the prestigious Queen’s Club event in 1986. Mayotte beat Edberg, Becker and Connors in succession on the way to the title. Five other years he reached the quarterfinals at The Championships, Wimbledon.

He reached a career-high singles ranking of World No. 7. He was a member of the United States’ Davis Cup team in 1986 and 1987.
