Tennis: R11.3-million on offer in second Million Dollar One Point Slam

# Tennis: A whopping 11.3-million-rand is on offer in a tournament between amateurs and high-profile players, including world number one Carlos Alcaraz of Spain, in Australia in January. The so-called Million Dollar One Point Slam will pit ten amateurs against 22 professionals before the start of the Australian Open in Melbourne. Participants will play ‘rock, paper, scissors’ to determine who serves and who receives, and the winner of the only point progresses to the next round. This year’s inaugural competition carried prize money of only 680-thousand-rand.
