Martina will Meet HK Fans in the Mixed Doubles Final

Organizers of the Watsons Water Champions Challenge announced this evening the participation of Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer in the Mixed Doubles Final. Elena Dementieva and Martin Verkerk have stepped aside to allow Martina and Roger to play in the Final.

Co-Tournament Director Terry Catton said, “Elena and Martina have graciously stepped aside to allow Hong Kong fans to see Martina for the very last time. She has announced this will definitely be the last year on the tour, and it will certainly be her last professional appearance in Hong Kong. We are also grateful to Martina and Roger for their willingness to do this. For the interest of tennis fans, we applaud all parties in coming to this decision.”

Their opponents in the Mixed Doubles Final will be Max Mirnyi and Venus Williams.
