Ahead of the 2022 Laver Cup, the Dutchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton and former World No. 1 Roger Federer will collaborate on a fundraiser for children's charities.

The Duchess and the tennis veteran will raise money for underprivileged kids by giving them all the earnings from tickets to the Laver Cup Open Practice Day event in London on September 22, according to a statement published by Laver Cup. The pair will participate in a special pre-tournament activity.

The money will be donated to the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) and Action for Children, two charities. Action for Children strives to help children in need while the LTA Tennis Foundation funds programs to increase the accessibility of tennis for children.

According to a People report, Federer will also let East London kids between the ages of eight and 15 play with him in an effort to inspire kids of all backgrounds to take up the sport.
