Over $300,000 was raised from the charity exhibition match on Sunday.
While Switzerland’s Roger Federer celebrated a triumph of winning his first French Open on the court, the first couple of modern tennis had their own reason to cheer.
Both Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf were in Paris for the work they do with their two charitable organisations. Agassi and Graf raised over $300,000 for the 'Andre Agassi Foundation' and 'Children For Tomorrow', ten years after they both won the French Open title. Sixteen budding champions selected from various countries were invited to play a few matches for 'Team Longines Agassi' and 'Team Longines Graf' .
In the 1999 tournament Agassi and Graf were surprise winners and began their relationship too when they danced together at the traditional winners' ball.
