Couldn't watch it, looks like it was fun!

^^^
I watched it, but so late... I don't know how was all the evening (I hope someone will write here about it). At Roger's fb, live, there was the "match". It was fun, but so short! I imagine there were others things at the night.

I hope Roger could raise a lot of money to the Foundation.

I couldn't see the match live, it was too early in the morning, but thankfully Eurosport will show the event in about a half an hour, lucky me

They had the entire show on FB and it's still there... the video is over 3 hours!

Here is the link to (re)watch the Match for Africa 5 show - Doubles match followed by the singles with Jack Sock: https://www.facebook.com/Federer/videos/10156122630764941/

Be sure to watch at around 25:00, if you don't watch the whole thing - a real funny exchange at the net with Jack, with Roger on his knees. That got me bursting out laughing!

They do pause from time to time to ask for donation for Roger's foundation, but on the replay you can fast forward. There was also a bit of a wait between the doubles and singles matches when they talked about the foundation.

Both matches were a lot of fun. Roger got in a bit of trouble at the beginning of the match against Jack Sock, but recovered to win the tie-break!

cromar, I watched all the "doubles match". The moment you talk about was really funny, Roger almost playing lying down on the court. But after the doubles, they began showing the texts about the Match For Africa and the Foundation, I thought the live coverage was over. Stupid me. But also it was really late here in Brasil (almost 2am), so... I went to bed.

I'll watch the whole match tonight after the football. I hope it will stay at fb a bit longer. Do we know how much money (in total, the donations + the tickets) Roger could raise?

I taped the event last night since it was too late to watch live on a work night. I'll watch the replay tonight.

From what I read, the event raised more than 2.5 million!

And after the SABR, we now have the KABR... Knee attack by Roger!
The hilarious sequence of exchange at the net... Roger on his knees, hitting the ball back to Jack Sock!

Watch the KABR here, plus Roger being schooled by a ball girl!
