The Match for Africa 4, Seattle - April 29, 2017

That was a crazy point. I know it's an exho, but really. So good to see Roger back on court.

Roger needs to be a little easier on Isner, in front of his home crowd.

Maybe he's gained weight.

LOL. Roger gifted Isner that game. Didn't want to embarrass him.

So Mirka is there as well. Nice little holiday for the 2 of them. Must have left the kids at home.

So Roger is 'allowed' not to wear a Nike shirt in the single match? Agreed his shorts are too tight!

So Roger is down 3-5 and Isner loses both his service points. Is this all planned?

uh, maybe. Especially now that the net is broken. I doubt they'll play a third set. And since my stream froze at match point I don't even know if Roger won.

yup he won.

That was a very entertaining match. I'm glad I got to watch (even though I missed match point).

They raised over $2 million. That's pretty amazing. Roger seemed a little choked up there.

Well, so good to see him happy and in so good form. Amazing points here and there, and what a lovely funny guy Isner (I had no idea he was like this).

Now, I am going to bed. Happy, plenty of beautiful images in my head and heart. Will come tomorrow to chat with you all.

How amazing! I think we can add John to the American members of Roger's PR team Some great interviews too!

Great effort from everyone! See you soon, Rog!

For those who missed it, Roger streamed the event live (feed from Tennis Channel) on his facebook page.  He has since pinned it to the top of the page and you can still watch the entire production - entertainment, both matches with TC commentary -

For our American friends, by using the direct link above, besides seeing the exho, you will have the ability to donate to the American version of his charity.  After all, that is the point of the exercise!!  However, for the rest of the world, I brought the video here directly in the hopes that those able to donate will take the time to go Roger's facebook page.



Note:  The first bit is asking you to donate!!  However, it does start after about 30-45s and goes from there.  Like any video, it is possible to omit the parts you don't want to see by moving the mouse further through the video.  Not everybody has 3+ hours!!

Big thanks to @BillGates for the warm welcome to Seattle and for being so supportive of me and the RF Foundation pic.twitter.com/yLbzJgtwtI
