Live tennis will return to Britain this week when the Battle of the Brits take centre stage and we give you the lowdown on the important things ahead of the tournament.
What is the Battle of the Brits?
Officially named ‘Schroders Battle of the Brits’, the exhibition tournament was organised by Jamie Murray, Schroders and Amazon Prime Video with the aim to £100,000 for NHS Charities Together.
