NEWPORT, R.I. (AP)—Australia's Todd Woodbridge and Mark Woodforde are heading a class of seven inductees into the International Tennis Hall of Fame on Saturday.
In a day honoring doubles, Woodbridge and Woodforde, known as the "Woodies," were enshrined along with doubles partners Gigi Fernandez and Natasha Zvereva.
Brad Parks, the pioneer of wheelchair tennis, was the Hall's first wheelchair inductee. Owen Davidson also was enshrined in the Master player category along with Derek Hardwick, who was enshrined posthumously.
In keeping with the doubles theme, the weather offered a "double dose" for fans watching the 65-minue ceremony on Newport's grass courts. It started in a heavy rain and that gave way to sunshine after about 15 minutes.
