TIM HENMAN TO PLAY STEFAN EDBERG AT THE BLACKROCK MASTERS TENNIS IN DECEMBER

mTim Henman will take on two-time Wimbledon champion Stefan Edberg at the BlackRock Masters Tennis at Londons Royal Albert Hall on the 4th December to raise money for his Kids at Heart Charity.

It will be Henman's first match since he retired from the professional circuit in glorious fashion in Britain's Davis Cup victory over Croatia at Wimbledon last month.

Henman and Edberg were scheduled to play each other at the Royal Albert Hall five years ago, but an injured shoulder forced Henman to withdraw.

"I am really looking forward to playing Stefan at the Royal Albert Hall particularly as it will raise money for a charity that means a lot to me," said Henman.

"During my last few years on the tennis circuit, there were not many chances to play against serve-and-volley specialists, and Stefan is one of the best of those. I am looking forward to it and I hope the crowd at the BlackRock Masters Tennis will enjoy it."

Edberg who featured in a memorable trilogy of Wimbledon finals against Boris Becker between 1988 and 1990, winning the title twice, is excited by the prospect of returning to the city that hosted some of his greatest tennis triumphs.

"It will be nice to be the first to play against Tim since he retired and especially in a venue as beautiful as the Royal Albert Hall," said Edberg.

"I have a lot of respect for Tim and the career that he had and I am happy that we can raise money for his charity. London is also a very special place for me – the city where I won Wimbledon, where I lived for a few years and have always enjoyed visiting. I played Jonas Bjorkman at the event a few years ago and the Royal Albert Hall was an incredible place to play tennis."

The match will take place in the evening session on Tuesday 4th December – the first day of the BlackRock Masters Tennis event which runs until Sunday 9th December.

Henman vs Edberg will run alongside the main event which features a 12-man field of some of the greatest Tennis champions of all-time.

Bjorn Borg a five-time Wimbledon champion has already accepted a wild card into the event.
