The Duchess of Cambridge and Roger Federer are joining forces to host a charity tennis open. The 40-year-old royal - who has Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven, and Prince Louis, four, with Prince William - and the 41-year-old Swiss champion are helping to raise funds for Action for Children and the Lawn Tennis Association’s (LTA) Tennis Foundation with the special tournaments at London's The O2 this September.
Catherine is a patron of the former non-profit, which provides practical and emotional care and support to young people. Kensington Palace said in a statement: “Her Royal Highness is passionate about supporting grassroots tennis and encouraging young people from all backgrounds to become involved in the sport. “The day of tennis in East London will provide children aged 8-15 with a memorable and engaging tennis experience. ” As part of the Laver Cup, Federer will face off against other tennis players in the fundraiser friendlies.
The Laver Cup Open Practice Day will be held on September 22. Ticket sales will be divided between the two causes and are available via lavercup.
