Maui Jim announces support for charity at Wimbledon event

With tennis fever gripping the nation for its customary two-week spell, sunglass company Maui Jim hosted a coaching clinic at the Wimbledon Club last weekend.

Former world number one Martina Hingis demonstrated various technical aspects of the sport, helped by the expert input of Patrick Mouratoglou, best known as coach to Serena Williams. Also taking part was 2016 French Open champion Garbiñe Muguruza, pictured, who is a contender for the ladies singles title at Wimbledon.

In addition to underlining its sport credentials, Maui Jim used the day to announce an extended relationship with eye charity Optometry Giving Sight.

‘We are pledging additional financial support for this important cause,’ said Martijn van Eerde, director of marketing Europe at Maui Jim.
