It looks like a Swinger will be crashing Wimbledon. Actor Jon Favreau has signed on to appear in the film about an aging male tennis player whose career makes like a boomarang when he falls in love with young, up-and-coming female tennis player.

Paul Bettany stars as the pro who is past his prime and Kirsten Dunst will do her best Anna Kournikova impersonation as his muse. Favreau will play Bettany's agent who smells a business opportunity when his client gets on a winning streak.

The movie is scheduled for a Summer release next year.
