Disneyland Paris was buzzing with tennis fever on Wednesday when Mickey hosted a tennis match as a part of the theme park's 'Mickey's Magical Party.'

French tennis player Gael Monfils, Swiss player Stanislas Wawrinka and 200 children from the French "Fete le Mur" association were invited to participate in the magical 'Tennis Party'.

According to Disneyland Paris, the world's most famous mouse had been training for months in order to play alongside and against the trained athletes.

The matches were held on Main Street where a temporary court resembling the French Opens clay courts had been laid.

The French "Fete le Mur" association was founded by French tennis pro, Yannick Noah, and is set up in 25 under-privileged Urban Zones. It gives neighbourhood children the opportunity to practice tennis, train and perfect their skills.
