LEAVING LAS VEGAS star ELISABETH SHUE is in training to become a professional tennis player. The actress admits she has always been pretty good at the sport and now she's working on a second career on the courts of America. She explains, "It's always been a dream of mine. I don't think I'll be playing at the (tennis tournament) US Open, but, by September (07), I'd like to be competing professionally, even at the lowest level. "I've been training so hard, now I feel like more of a tennis player than an actress."

Hope this doesn't mean she'll be in even less films now!!

I think that's crazy. She's starting a tennis career at 43-44?? Sometimes it's too late to pick up a dream...

I think it's inspiring when people go after their dreams. She doesn't sound delusional, she knows that because of her age she can only hope to play at the lowest level of professional tennis. But she's going for it anyway, which is fantastic.

Well, I guess she'll be pretty humbled, much like MJ did with baseball.

Goodluck Shue but your gonna get your ass kicked.

I know she is. Take it from someone who has played at the college Division I level. Most of the professional women players range in age from 16-30 (men is more like 19-30). Once you hit 28-29 you are considered "elderly" for both men and women professional players. Sorry for my rant but good luck to her if she decides to do this. Miracles have happened though.

she has no chance, lol...

she can't even beat the old former women tennis players like Chris Evert or Martina...
