World number two Novak Djokovic has confirmed his entry to the inaugural Necker Cup, taking place on Richard Branson’s island home this December.
The five time Grand Slam champion will be joined by the likes of doubles legends the Bryan brothers, as well as the Virgin Group Founder – himself a keen tennis enthusiast.
Each day of the tournament will end with a cocktail and dinner evening, concluding with an ‘End of the World’ awards dinner, party and auction at Rosewood Little Dix Bay where participants will have the opportunity to mingle with the past and current tennis stars, as well as their host.
100% of donations from the auction will directly benefit the local BVI community, Virgin Unite, the National Tennis Foundation, Novak Djokovic Foundation and other ATP and WTA player charities.
In addition to the tennis, Richard Branson will kick off a Virgin Unite Leadership Retreat where Necker Cup participants will get to learn from one of the world’s most successful business leaders.
Places are still available for the Cup, through winning one of eight Life Time Necker Cup Challenges. If you’d like to find out more you can call 800.376.0975 or visit the Necker Cup website.
