Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf are due to face Kim Clijsters and Tim Henman on May 17 as Wimbledon prepares to raise the curtain on the long-awaited new movable roof.
British press reports that the all-star couples will headline at what has to be the most high-profile test event ever staged in the sport.
The participants all had to be non-active players as the date falls smack in the middle of the clay-court Tour buildups to Roland Garros.
Officials are expecting a full house of 15,000 paying public to attend as the roof project, three years in the making, is completed in time for this summer's edition of the Championships.
Henman, who retired a year and a half ago, never lifted a Wimbledon trophy, falling short in four semifinals. Graf will be playing at Wimbledon for the first time since losing the 1999 final while her husband Agassi had to be convinced to step back into action.
Belgium's Clijsters retired nearly two years ago, marrying and having a child. She reached two Wimbledon semifinals.
