Venus and Serena Williams to play at Ellis Park
Breaking the Mould (BTM) is an initiative created by Octagon SA, aimed specifically at acknowledging and recognising women (of all ages) who have broken the mould whether at home, play work or in their communities. These are women who have risen above their own set of challenges and adversities to succeed and inspire.
Wheelchair tennis players as ball kids
The BTM Venus vs Serena Williams Exhibition Match will also break the mould by being the first match to feature wheelchair tennis players as ball kids. Wheelchair Tennis SA, through the Sports Trust, will be the recipients of funds raised through the auction of original tennis memorabilia donated by the sisters, at a gala dinner held on Saturday, 3 November. "It is only fitting, therefore, that this important occasion should be marked with yet another mould-breaking moment", commented Qondisa Ngwenya, MD of Octagon and the mastermind behind the BTM initiative.
And in another first, a mixed-doubles pairing of top-ranked Wheelchair Tennis SA and Tennis SA competitors will perform in a curtain-raiser match.
Tickets are available from www.computicket.com.
