Didn't want to start a new thread, this kind of fits here. Note it was actually called "Baghdatis & Friends"

Baghdatis & Friends Play for Charity in Cyprus

Marcos Baghdatis thrilled his home country fans last week as he joined forces with other ATP players and local tennis stars in the first ever tennis charity exhibition held in Cyprus.

More than 2,000 spectators turned out for the event, held at the National Tennis Centre in Nicosia, to see their hero in action alongside Frenchmen Fabrice Santoro and Marc Gicquel, his brother Petros and Cypriot No. 2 Fotos Kallias. Miss Star Cyprus 2006 also attended the charity benefit.

Following the match, a "Marcos card" prize raffle was held with a lucky fan winning a trip for four to watch Baghdatis play at Roland Garros.

The exhibition was organized in collaboration with his sponsor, the "Société Générale" of Cyprus, to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Rome.

All net proceeds from the event were donated to the development of the youth tennis talent in Cyprus and to the Cyprus Society Against Osteoporosis and Myoskeletal Diseases.
