A good evening in Melbourne.
Roger Federer and some other illustrious friends such as Rod Laver, Tsonga, Rafter Roche and Hewitt did something important for Roger Federer Foundation.
The most important part of the event was the exhibition between Roger and Tsonga (Federer won 6-7 6-3 7-5).
Federer: This was perfect preparation
Roger was very happy to comment “What a pleasure to play any match here, in particular a match for a good cause. I played some of the biggest matches of my career right here. It’s very special being back. It was a dream come true to play some balls with Rod Laver, spend some time with him, speak with him.
The most important thing tonight was to enjoy it, have fun with Jo and get into the mood of the Australian Open. It’s a pleasure playing the Australian Open. I’ve been coming for nearly 15 years. This was perfect preparation, but so much more tonight.”
Tsonga: It’s great to be here tonight for a great cause
Talking to Hewitt Jo said “I’m really pleased to be here tonight. To help Roger is always an honour. I played well. It was a good match tonight. It’s always tough to play against Roger. It’s great to be here tonight for a great cause.”
