This money which Halep and Kerber will help to raise will go a long way to funding sports programs in socially disadvantaged areas within South Australia. They will do so; by playing an exhibition doubles match.
“This will be a momentous occasion as we host our first event under the brand-new Memorial Drive roof and we look forward to welcoming the public for the first time,” Tournament Director Alistair MacDonald said.
“We are really proud to kick off the Adelaide International; with a strong focus on giving back to the community with the Rally for Resilience.
“We encourage parents to take advantage of our ‘kids go free’ offer and bring their kids down to Memorial Drive; to watch world class tennis with two former world No.1 players, Simona Halep and Angelique Kerber right here in Adelaide. It will be a great affordable night out.”
