They are shown with hoods over the heads being driven through a desert by two gangland heavies.

The Grand Slam champions are then bundled out of the car and confronted by the cigar-chomping crime boss at his outdoor pool.

He tells them: “I’m sorry about this little inconvenience but it’s my little girl’s birthday.

“I thought wouldn’t it be a nice surprise for you two to play a match for her.

“There will be a match for the entertainment of this kid now.

“You better make sure it’s the ultimate match.”

The tennis stars, both 27, are threatened with being placed in a cement mixer if they don’t go through with the match.

However, the little girl is unimpressed with her birthday present and complains: “Daddy, who are these guys? I wanted Maria Sharapova.”
