DUBAI: Dutch-Palestinian model Gigi Hadid and US tennis star Serena Williams lost a virtual tennis match for charity on Sunday.
They competed in the Mario Tennis Aces tournament, hosted by IMG, for the charity Feeding America.
The duo, who have been friends for a while, played doubles live on Facebook’s recently launched Facebook Gaming app, and lost against tennis player Madison Keys and British singer and songwriter Sean.
“Sad we didn’t make it further, but happy and lucky to have gotten the opportunity to donate $25K to Feeding America today (sic),” the model, who is expecting a baby girl with her boyfriend Zayn Malik, wrote on Instagram.
During the Live, the 25-year-old spoke about how she has been preparing for the game. “I’ve been playing with my sister, my boyfriend and my friends, so they’ve been helping me play doubles,” she said.
The pregnant model also revealed that she suffered a minor injury while training for the virtual tennis match. “I thought we were playing swing mode originally so I was playing and I fully pulled my shoulder. I was training very hard.”
