Anderson raises more than $90,000 during the charity event

First, Kevin Anderson announced he will not play during the 2019 Season anymore, later he spoke about the ATP Cup and now he hosted a successful charity event.

The Courtside Cause, Anderson's third charity event, was hosted by Kevin Anderson in the Boca Grove Golf & Tennis Club on Saturday. Anderson was not the only one raising the money. Other players from ATP and WTA Tour helped him as well. Bryan brothers, Coco Gauff or Shelby Rogers were among the involved.

“For our third charity event, it was great to be able to expand it even further and help more worthy causes this year. I know how much the money we raise helps these organisations, so the more we can raise and help, the better,” Anderson said. “We were really lucky this year that the tennis didn’t get rained out. Last year, we had to move it to the next day, so everyone was able to enjoy all the action, participate in some fun on-court challenges and then go next door for the silent auction, music and dinner. Everyone has a lot of fun."

“It’s really laid back and relaxed for the players and fans to mingle and enjoy themselves. I’m really looking forward to continuing the momentum of what we’ve built for this event each December and do more good for organisations that need.”

“I think planning this event and being able to give back or bring awareness to needy causes is one of the biggest perks of being a tennis player. Especially this year being away from the court so much with my injuries, having my focus on what we were going to do at the end of the year kept me busy while I was rehabbing and made me really excited for what we would accomplish,” Anderson said. “I feel very lucky tennis has allowed me to do these sorts of things and use my platform to hopefully do a bit of good.
