Who saw? Also who going to watch next one. I like how fed said he would give the first set and then he ended up winning 4-6 6-3 6-3.

I watched the first set, and it looked like each was trying like it was a real match.

What happened in the second and third?

and what do you mean, fed said he would give the first set?

i did, and i will watch today's match, i never expect great things from an exhibition match but they played a good match...... i guess they have an "arrangement", Fed wins in Switzerland and Rafa wins in Madrid, the main purpose of these 2 matches is getting money for their foundations, that's all.

I will probably get a "sample of the court" where they´ll play this afternoon to help Rafa's foundation for 65 euros

it's clear that they care nothing about the result, because it's the first time in my life i see Rafa playing without his wristbands, it's training session.
btw love watching the classic tennis court only with the singles lines

Yeah that vid thing was what I was talking about when I mentioned how fed would give first set.

The matches are jsut to early or late for me to watch. Recent one was played at 5am my time :S. From what I saw of first one they playing at an alright level.

The no double line courts still seem really weird. I think some wta events have those courts from memory.

Not as weird as when they did battle of the surfaces that was very odd.

Battle of the Surfaces was kinda stupid. They could have just played one set on a full grass court and one on clay, then a third on hardcourt if necessary.

Thanks for the vid Moralspain. Did you guys know about this one too? Federer is a chronic laugher! :) If he can do this more often on court, he will indeed win 5 more grand slams (the problem will throw off his opponents during play). :lol:

Happy New Year!

Anyone watching Federer v Nadal in the Abu Dhabi Exhibition? Already some really entertaining tennis from both, here's hoping we get plenty more of these two squaring off in 2011.
