Tennis great and former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash has joined forces with Abler Sports & Entertainment (ASE) to launch “The Invitational with Cash for Charity,” a one-of-a-kind festival celebrating tennis alongside music, food, lifestyle, and popular culture. The debut event is scheduled for January 2026 in Melbourne, in the run-up to the Australian Open.
Set to bring together legendary athletes and renowned personalities, The Invitational will blend thrilling on-court tennis action with vibrant off-court entertainment and experiences. Adding a philanthropic dimension, the event will also feature “Cash for Charity,” an initiative designed to raise funds for important causes.
Pat Cash said, “The Invitational is about more than tennis. I’m excited to bring this vision to life with ASE and create an event that not only celebrates the sport but also contributes to causes that matter.”
Ravi Krishnan, Founder and CEO, ASE said, “This perfectly represents ASE’s mission — to develop Intellectual Properties that merge creativity and commerce through meaningful collaborations. Pat Cash is not only an Australian icon but a figure of talent and compassion. The Invitational will embody those qualities, combining elegance and exclusivity as a fresh addition to the Summer of Tennis.”
Further details, including the event format and full schedule, are expected to be announced by ASE and Pat Cash closer to the launch.
