Dirk Nowitzki, Stars Align for Third Annual Charity Tennis Classic at SMU

For the third straight year, Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki teamed up with some serious star power at the SMU Tennis Complex for his third annual Pro Celebrity Tennis Classic. All proceeds from the event are to benefit the Dirk Nowitzki Foundation. The event has taken place at SMU since its inception in 2016 and most recently benefited relief for Hurricane Harvey.
