Billie Jean King and Elton host Tennis in London
Friday, August 8 2014

Billie Jean King and Elton John will host a tennis match at Royal Albert Hall in London.

The longtime friends will coach teams that feature former No. 1-ranked Kim Clijsters and John McEnroe and Britain's Tim Henman and 2013 Wimbledon runner-up Sabine Lisicki. King's World Team Tennis Smash Hits event will be held December 7, 2014 and benefit the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

Elton says the aim is "an AIDS-free future" and "access to lifesaving treatment to more people living with HIV in Africa." King says it's the first time the event will have a "global presence" and she's pleased to bring "this wonderful evening of tennis to a new audience."

The Smash Hits program, which has raised $12 million since 1993, will be held on the final night of a Masters tennis tournament.
