Two legends are bringing one of tennis’ biggest charity events to London for the first time. Longtime friends Elton John and Billie Jean King will go head to head as they host the Mylan World Team Tennis Smash Hits to benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation. The battle will commence at 6pm on Sunday, December 7 2014, on finals day of the Statoil Masters Tennis tournament at the Royal Albert Hall. The pair will coach a stellar lineup featuring former world number one tennis champion John McEnroe, Tim Henman, Kim Clijsters and Sabine Lisicki.

The one-night event will be staged during the final session of the IMG-owned and staged Statoil Masters Tennis tournament. Since 1993, Mylan WTT Smash Hits has raised more than $12 million for the Elton John AIDS Foundation and various local AIDS charities throughout the United States. This is the first time in the event’s 22-year history that it will be staged outside the U.S.
