According to a Delhi Lawn Tennis Association (DLTA) press release, around 100 kids will participate in the tennis clinic, where they will receive tips from Sania, Paes and Bhupathi. The tennis clinic will be a one-hour affair from 4:30pm.
The All India Tennis Association (AITA) will also launch 'ITF Play and Stay' campaign on court with the stars before the match.
"The idea of the programme is to develop interest in the game among kids from an early age. Kids as young as three can also come and learn to play tennis. Softer and different-coloured balls such as red, orange and green will be provided to all starters," the press release said.
DLTA has also sent across free invites to various academies to watch the exhibition match.
