Ana will play an exhibition in Chile for the first time in her career on 6 December 2012. Her opponent is not yet certain, but it will be someone in the top 10, most likely world #2 Radwanska or the Czech player Petra Kvitova. The name of the opponent might be confirmed this week.
"This exhibition could be the final of a Grand Slam. It is truly an honor to have in Chile a player like Ana," said Piero Zoffoli, director of the national designer One Fashion Management.
It cost a great deal to convince Ana to come, according to Lan.com. She will receive US $700,000, while her opponent will earn about US $ 450,000. The organizers also want to construct a hard-court stadium with seating for 5,000 people. They are working on arranging a television channel to show the match.
Ana will arrive in Chile on 5 December and participate in a party attended by distinguished people from all professions as well as her opponent. On 6 December, she will attend a children's tennis clinic hosted by the Chilean tennis federation. In the evening, she will play her exhibition.
After her match in Chile, Ana will move on to Qatar, Doha on the 7th, where she will contest the other exhibition on 8 December. Here too, her rival has not been confirmed.
