Tennis legend Roger Federer, widely considered the greatest Male player of all time, has this year again organized a charity exhibition in the run-up to 2011′s first grand slam, the Australian Open. Last year it was for earthquake victims in Haiti, this year the charity will be for victims of killer floods in parts of Australia.
Top Australian and international tennis stars are expected to join forces with Federer in this event.
Roger shared these following updates on Facebook:
This Sunday at 2p on Rod Laver Arena we are going to do a charity match called “Rally for Relief” to help raise money for the relief efforts for the devastating floods in Queensland. Lots of the games stars will participate. It should be a lot of fun.
