Several Dreamcast game consoles will be set up at the club and a competition held to determine the leading scorer on the night. The game features many of the biggest names in tennis today, including Tim Henman, who also starred in the original Virtua Tennis game that became one of the biggest-selling sports games ever launched by Sega. Also featured are Australian star Pat Rafter and the dynamic Williams sisters.
Copies of the new game, which are available from leading retailers at a recommended retail price of £29.99, will be on offer as prizes and auction items on the night to help raise funds through Tim Henman's Kids at Heart charity for the benefit of the Tennis First Charitable Trust Scholarship - a programme based at the Esporta Riverside Club and designed to support some of London's most promising young players.
