Former world number one, Andy Roddick took part in the charity event that was being hosted in Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas and managed to raise $150,000 money. 11th annual Mark Knowles Celebrity Tennis Invitational has been conducting these charitable events on regular intervals and has collected around $800,000 money in total for the needy people.
Andy Roddick was accompanied by the likes of Amer Delic, Jesse Levine, Xavier Malisse and Nicholas Monroe. There were some WTA players present at the event as well that included Anna-Lena Groenefeld, Vania King, Olga Savchuk and Yasmin Schnack. The co-owner of the event and four time Grand Slam champion, Mark Knowles, was also one of the members that attended this event for a noble event.
Knowles said “It was great to have Andy here. Not only is he one of the best players of his generation but he has established himself as someone who wants to make a difference off the court. He is incredibly philanthropic and dedicated to improving other people’s lives.”
