A special fund-raising evening in support of child health charity Best Beginnings will open this year's Statoil Masters Tennis at the Royal Albert Hall.
Tim Henman will be joined by tennis legends Pat Rafter, Greg Rusedski, Mark Philippoussis and Mansour Bahrami, who will all feature in singles or doubles matches as part of The Grand Opening of this year's tournament at 7.30pm on Wednesday 4 December.
Best Beginnings is a small national charity working to give every baby in the UK a better, healthier start in life. Not all children in the UK have an equal start in life and Best Beginnings are working to change this. A baby born in Bradford is six times more likely to die before the age of one than a baby born in Tunbridge Wells, Kent.
