Federer and Tsonga to play exhibition at the Rod Lever Arena

This time Roger won’t have any exhibition tour like in 2012 (South America) to properly prepare for a better 2014. But The Maestro’s generosity made him organize an exhibition match at the Rod Laver Arena with his friend Tsonga.

A night with Roger Federer and Friends

Ok, the name is a sort of “Pavarotti and Friends” style, but the idea is nice

“It’s going to be called “A night with Roger Federer and Friends”, it’s going to be very entertaining, and it would be great if you could be part of it,” said Roger.

“Good acts, entertainment, music, light-show, clearly the match – I hope that’s what you’re coming for, to see me play against Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. We’ve had some great exhibitions in the past where we really light up the crowd. I know I’m going to be playing good tennis and it’s a great way to kick off the Australian Open.

“I’m celebrating ten years since my first victory in Australia, and I’m celebrating ten years of the Roger Federer Foundation. I spoke with Tennis Australia to see if we could do something a bit fun, a bit different as well, and I hope that’s why people are going to join in the action.”

A nice idea!
