Martina Hingis & Kim Clijsters to take part in Mylan WTT Smash Hits charity event Dec. 7

Five-time Grand Slam champion Martina Hingis and current British No.1 Heather Watson have joined a glittering line-up of stars for the Mylan WTT Smash Hits presented by Walgreens and AmerisourceBergen charity event on finals day at the Statoil Masters Tennis.

Hingis and Watson will join Sir Elton John, Billie Jean King, Kim Clijsters, Sabine Lisicki, John McEnroe, Andy Roddick, Tim Henman and Greg Rusedski for the event on the evening of Sunday December 7th, which will raise money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Hingis, who won Wimbledon in 1997 at the age of 16, has made a successful comeback to the WTA doubles circuit this year. The Swiss, now 34, was one match-win away from the calendar-year Grand Slam in ’97 when she added the Australian and US Open titles to her Wimbledon crown.

Watson has returned to the Top 50, registering notable victories over the Australian Open runner-up Dominika Cibulkova and former World No.10 Flavia Pennetta.

Mylan WTT Smash Hits is an annual team event featuring Team Elton against Team Billie Jean. It will be the first time the event will be held outside the United States in its 22-year history.
