Mannheim, Germany - Steffi Graf returns to her roots for a charity tennis match on Saturday and has brought her husband Andre Agassi along. Graf and Agassi will play world number one Justine Henin and former Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic to raise money for her charity "Children for Tomorrow" which supports children and their families traumatized by war or organized crime. The former world number one Graf was originally also due to play singles with Henin, but Graf is nursing a light injury which prevented this interesting meeting of the tennis generations. A spokesman for her foundation told Deutsche Presse-Agentur
