Fire set at tennis star James Blake’s Florida home

Investigators were continuing to process the scene of a fire at a million dollar home owned by former tennis star James Blake where the bodies of two adults and two teenagers were found.

Officials say the early Wednesday fire inside the home in Tampa’s exclusive Avila neighborhood was intentionally set.

Donna Lusczynski said Blake rented the home to the Campbell family.

Blake bought the home in the Avila subdivision in 2005 for $1.5 million, according to Hillsborough County property records.

Many well-known athletes call the community home and over the years, various football, baseball and tennis players have bought homes in the subdivision, which has a country club and golf course.
