Top Tennis Stars to Appear at Harbor Point Classic

By MICHELLE ASCHWALD
International tennis champions will be on Strawberry courts for the Sixth Annual Harbor Point Tennis Club Esurance Tennis Classic presented by LRG Capital Group October 2 and 3.

“Billie Jean King and Anna Kournikova will be attending the Gala Dinner, Auction & Awards Ceremony with other legends. This is such an honor,” Patrick Kaliski, co-producer of the sport charity event told The Ark. “King and Kournikova will be making their first appearances at this event. We have many other great players, as well.”

A line-up of 10 stellar champions will play exhibition singles and doubles games in the World Team Tennis Format to benefit the Harbor Point Charitable Foundation, according to Kaliski. The foundation was founded by Bob and Ray Kaliski.
Rosie Casals, a San Francisco native with 12 Grand Slam and seven Wimbledon doubles titles, is the promoter of the event. The proceeds from the classic go to three charities: To Celebrate Life Breast Cancer Foundation, Us TOO Prostate Cancer Education & Support Network, and Youth Tennis Advantage.

Kaliski said the foundation would like to raise nearly $100,000 at the classic.
