Henman to play Edberg in London
Former British number one Tim Henman will play three-time Wimbledon champion Stefan Edberg at the Royal Albert Hall in London in December.
"During my last few years on the tennis circuit, there were not many chances to play against serve-and-volley specialists," said Henman.
"Stefan is one of the best of those - I am looking forward to it."
The match will take place on 4 December as part of the BlackRock Masters event which features a 12-man field.
Henman, who retired from professional tennis last month, is playing to raise money for his Kids at Heart Charity.
