  • Four More Stars Sign up As Tie Break Tens Madrid Partners with the Mutua Charity Against Domestic Violence
    24th March, 2017 Four more stars sign up as Tie Break Tens Madrid partners with The Mutua Charity against domestic violence On the day that Tie Break Tens Madrid announced a partnership with the Mutua Charity against domestic violence, a reigning Olympic champion, a French Open runner-up, an Australian Open semi finalist and one of the most exciting young players in tennis joined the line-up of stars at the event. The event, which takes place on Thursday May 4th, will donate $100,000 to victims of domestic violence. Tie Break Tens Madrid will therefore be named Mutua Charity Tie Break Tens Madrid, against domestic violence. Monica Puig, who won Puerto Rico's first ever Olympic gold medal last year in Rio, joins the field in the 8- player women's tournament alongside Maria Sharapova, Garbine Muguruza and Simona Halep. In the men's event, the 2013 Roland Garros finalist David Ferrer, the 2011 Australian Open semi finalist Fernando Verdasco and Lucas Pouille - the 23-year-old Frenchman who beat Rafael Nadal at the US Open last year - signed up. They will take on Kei Nishikori, Grigor Dimitrov and Feliciano Lopez in Madrid. $200,000 will be on offer to the winner of each event, which will be played over a knockout format with every match a first-to-ten point tie-break. Ferrer, a former World No.3, said: 'I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play in this event. To play in Spain is an opportunity that doesn't come around that often and I think that this exciting competition format with tie-breaks of 10 points will be great fun for the crowd, so I ask everybody to come and watch in support of an important cause".

  • Murray Drawn to Face Willis, Ivanisevic in Tie Break Tens Group Stages
    Murray Drawn To Face Willis, Ivanisevic In Tie Break Tens Group Stages The World No.2 Andy Murray has been drawn to face the 2001 Wimbledon champion Goran Ivanisevic and unlikely Wimbledon hero Marcus Willis in the round- robin stages of Tie Break Tens, which takes place on Sunday night. World No.10 Dominic Thiem, the 2008 Australian Open runner-up Jo Wilfried Tsonga and former World No.2 Tommy Haas will contest the other group. The top two players in each group will advance to the semifinals. The winner of the final will receive a winner-takes-all cheque for $250,000. Each match will take the form of a quick-fire, first-to-10 point tie-break (with a margin of two points). Willis will be taking on a childhood hero in Ivanisevic, and arguably the best player in the world at the moment in Murray. He still thinks he can win. ‘Could I beat Andy Murray in a ten-point tie-break? Probably,” said Willis. “It’s ten points. Accrington Stanley would lose to Manchester United over 90 minutes, but in a 10-minute match they would stand a chance. I think it will suit my game. It’s exciting, it’s a sprint, and the crowd are going to be into it. I’m lucky to have been given this opportunity and I’m going to get in there.” Tie Break Tens Vienna will take place at 7pm CET on Sunday (6pm UK). It will be televised live on ORF in Austria, and Sky Sports in the UK.
