International Tennis Hall of Famer Chris Evert, Olympic Gold Medalist Lindsay Davenport and tennis commentator Justin Gimelstob will guest star in an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in January 2013 on the CBS Television Network.

Joining Evert will be former world number one and 1996 Olympic Gold Medalist Lindsay Davenport, who won 55 singles titles, including seven Grand Slams (two Australian Opens, three Wimbledons, two U.S. Opens) and 38 doubles titles.
A former top-ranked U.S. junior and NCAA doubles champion at UCLA, Justin Gimelstob rounds out the guest stars from the professional tennis world. He reached a career-high ranking of 63rd in singles and 17th in doubles. He is also a correspondent for CBS THIS MORNING.
