Chris Evert wants to do something important for the final showdown in Singapore.
The idea is to expand the happening in a 10 days event with lots of exhibitions and activities for fans; there will be 7 days of competitions (1 more than last year); the doubles will feature 8 teams; there will be an exhibition with both the rising stars and the legends.
