How Many Tennis Stars Does It Take to Hold Down a Dolphin?

Apparently 5. 

Yesterday Mardy Fish, Thomas Berdych, Vania Kina, Potito Starace, and Ivan Ljubicic swam with the dolphins at the Dolphin Harbor before starting the business end of their week at the Sony Ericsson Open.

Per the Sony Ericsson Open website:

The players enjoyed a 30-minute interaction with a pair of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins that included a ride across the pool, a kiss and a feeding opportunity. The session ended with a group photo with the dolphins jumping in the background. "It was awesome," said King, who lives up the road in Boynton Beach. "I had such a great time." Fish's wife, Deal or No Deal suitcase model Stacey Gardner, was among several family members and coaches who also participated.
