Wimbledon on the Murray saw Australian tennis champions Todd Woodbridge, John Fitzgerald and Rex Hartwig gather at Albury's Commercial Club in front of a crowd of around 180 people last month.
Money raised will be going towards a new lawn mower for the Wodonga tennis courts, set to cost the club $50,000.
"It was a wonderful night," event organiser Phil Shanahan said.
"It was good of our three special guests to come and help us out.

"Everyone enjoyed the night and the feedback has been incredibly positive.
"So much so that we'll be looking to do one again next year we hope."
The Wodonga Tennis Centre is home to 30 grass courts and sees players arrive from around the state and country for tournaments such as the Victorian Junior Grasscourt Championships and the annual Labour Day competition.
While there's still a way to go to secure the mower, Shanahan said they're pleased with their progress.
