Wheel of Fortune's 'Tennis Week' Gives Indian Wells A Spin

The popular game show filmed its first "Tennis Week' at the BNP Paribas Open in March.

Among the stars at the BNP Paribas Open in the desert was famous letter-turner Vanna White, who filmed several segments for Wheel of Fortune's first-ever "Tennis Week," scheduled to air May 30-June 3.

Teaming up with The Tennis Channel, White was invited to the BNP Paribas Open Tournament at Indian Wells to tape segments for the five shows with WTA players Jelena Jankovic and Samantha Stosur as well as a tennis lesson from the top-ranked men's doubles team, the Bryan Brothers.

Kicking off Tennis Week, former World No. 1 female professional tennis player and Tennis Channel commentator Tracey Austin will visit Pat Sajak and White on set.
