By Greg Siskind

ADVERTISEMENTS

South African-born Liezel Huber will be competing in her second Olympics (the first in 2000 in Sidney), but this is the first time she'll compete for the US. She's actually been in the US since 1992 and is married to American tennis pro Tony Huber. Liezel is a doubles player and will be switching from her regular partner Cara Black for American tennis star Lindsay Davenport. While Davenport may be better known, Huber has a pretty stellar record of her own. She's one Wimbledon and the Australian Open and she and Cara Black are the number one ranked doubles players in the world.

Liezel is also someone who is giving back to her adopted country. She's started Liezel's Cause which aids victims of Hurricane Katrina.

Here's a video showing Liezel and her partner being interviewed by tennis legend Bud Collins.
