Have you ever seen Blake Shelton playing a sport? Neither have we, but according to a close friend, Shelton is quite the athlete. 

Oh yes, Adam Levine has confirmed that Shelton is in fact a good tennis player. Not something you’d expect from the Oklahoma native, but his best friend should know these things. 

Levine and Shelton have been coaches together since season one of NBC’s ‘The Voice’, and have grown to be close over the years. Does that mean he and Levine play tennis together? Not necessarily, but we’ll take his word for it.
