The duo are in town to play in the Coca-Cola International Premier Tennis League and were at the event at the invitation of OUE, title sponsor of the Singapore Slammers. The event was part of Stars Of Christmas, an annual community programme now into its sixth year. The initiative collected a record 800 gifts this year through corporate partners, private donors and members of the community.
