Knowles teams with McEnroe & more at Baha Mar Cup fundraiser
Mark Knowles, former No. 1 in the PIF ATP Doubles Rankings, hosted the sixth annual Baha Mar Cup this past weekend. The star-studded fundraising event, featuring John McEnroe alongside many ATP and WTA stars as well as celebrities, raised more than $300,000 for the Baha Mar Foundation, which benefits the Mark Knowles Charity Tennis Initiative.
The four-day event in the Bahamas featured exhibition matches, a celebrity pro-am, multiple clinics, and much more. In addition to Knowles and McEnroe, the Baha Mar Cup was highlighted by a list of active and former professional tennis players, including Tommy Paul, James Blake, Milos Raonic, Jessica Pegula, Victoria Azarenka, Sabine Lisicki, Olga Savchuk and Spencer Papa.

Those were not the only celebrities on hand. Actor Jason Isaacs, renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson, The Bachelor and Dancing With The Stars personality Joey Graziadei and professional golfer Matt Kuchar were also in attendance.
“It was a fantastic weekend of fun, laughter and sport all in the spirit of giving back to children’s charities in my beautiful country,” said Knowles, the Bahamian who won 55 tour-level doubles titles in his career, including three major trophies with long-time partner Daniel Nestor.
“Thank you to all of the pros, celebrities, amateurs and the entire staff for putting on the most amazing event of the season.”
