The sporting heroes at the MATCH Foundation fundraiser were here both to thrill promising, young tennis players and to remind those bidding of what may become of these budding talents may become. Hosting the evening were Rolf Theiler and wife, Gloria Arendz.

Martina became the youngest ever Grand Slam champion and world No. 1. But only after defecting from Soviet controlled Czechoslovakia with her mother, Melanie Molitor. Her path was tough.

Another legend who got on board is no less than America’s two time Olympic hurdles champion Edwin Moses.
There to support a fellow sporting code was Springbok great Jean de Villiers.

Among the sought after items on auction was a work by Gloria’s son-in-law, the Italian American artist Massimo Agostinelli.
