🎾Elite tennis exhibition canceled on the of the event in Soweto due to 'disorganisation', leaving high profile international tennis players stranded. Read the story here: AfricaCaresWomensTennisChallenge

The Africa Cares Tennis Challenge had been set to feature some of the world’s top players – including world No 2 Ons Jabeur of Tunisia and former US Open champion Sloane Stephens of the United States – while raising awareness of gender-based violence.And while the organisers pointed to “unexpectedly low ticket sales” and weather delays which had hampered their preparation, others were pointing at allegedly poor organisation.

Tennis South Africa and Wanderers stadium management distanced themselves from the event – apparently aiming to avoid “reputational damage” – which forced it to be moved to Arthur Ashe Tennis Centre in Soweto before it was ultimately called off.
