Video of the full doubles exho between Roger/Sascha and the Bryans from yesterday 28 December 2019 in Hangzhou. [I've also posted this on the 'Videos and photos' thread Cromar if you wish to delete one of the links.]
I thought it more likely that people might find the video on this thread for the moment.

Federer beats Zverev in China to wrap up exhibition tour
By John Berkok | Tennis.com
December 29, 2019
Roger Federer and Alexander Zverev wrapped up their off-season exhibition tour over the weekend in Hangzhou, China, not just playing each other in singles - with Federer winning in three sets - but also teaming up with each other in doubles against the Bryan Brothers.
The doubles match took place on Saturday, with Federer and Zverev falling to the Bryans, 7-6, 7-6, and the two singles stars played each other on Sunday, with Federer prevailing, 6-1, 6-7, 6-2.
“Thank you for coming out to this very special weekend for all the players,” Federer told the crowd. “I’ve had a chance to see the city and meet people along the way and it was an absolute pleasure playing here tonight again after the doubles yesterday. It’s been a lot of fun so thank you very much.
“I really enjoyed my time here in Hangzhou. I’ll be coming back for many more years to come.”
The Swiss has reportedly signed on to play in Hangzhou for the next four years.
Federer and Zverev did much more than just the two exhibition matches at the “Little Lotus Flower” stadium this weekend, too - they also took part in a kids’ clinic, a charity auction and photo ops.
There was also a pre-exhibition press conference on Saturday. Among the topics the two were asked about was Federer being recently named GQ Magazine’s Most Stylish Man of the Decade.
“By the way I voted every single day, just so you know,” Zverev joked.
“Maybe one day Sascha will become GQ Man of the Year!” Federer replied. “But I think it’s important to dress for the occasion, and I think tennis has a strong heritage when it comes to style and fashion, and we can mix that with street and on-court stuff. I try to have my own style, I guess, I try to stay very classic, but I also get modern. At the end of the day, it’s online voting and anything can happen.
“I can thank my fans - including Sascha - for voting for me every single day. It was more funny than anything else. People are making fun of me now, and there’s more pressure for what I wear!”
Federer and Zverev’s encounter at the Hangzhou Tmall Cup International Tennis Invitational Tennis Tournament was their fifth and final exhibition match against each other this off-season. They had played four exhibitions halfway across the world in Santiago, Mexico City, Quito and Buenos Aires.
Federer now heads back to Switzerland for New Year’s and will kick off his 2020 season at the Australian Open, where he’s a six-time champion in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2017 and 2018. Zverev will begin his 2020 season playing for Germany at the inaugural ATP Cup, which starts this Friday.

Excuse me, I am tip toeing in here, got to be careful, but am I on le forum anglais It seems I have been posting on le forum francais Well it was all English, with posts by Cromar, how am I to know. Anyway it is clear now with the addition of a couple of words in French..
Beautiful pictures everywhere in both forums, Roger is having fun with the boys and enjoying the fans and promoting his business .. I love exhibitions with Roger, tons of fun sans stress ... travelling to my friends home for the New year, may not be able to post. Wishing everyone here a happy and healthy New Year, and for humanity, at least one that's better than 2019.

Roger and Sascha at the West Lake in Hangzhou enjoing a traditional Chinese tea party, with rice cake, and then presenting their New Year's wishes to the Chinese people (a good attempt according to Scarlett).

Sascha has an awkward looking curve because of his height. At least, from their comparative angles, it's how I see it.

Both players look happy and attractive, in their game and expressions. Roger is a delight, as always. We keep seeing how he is unimitable.
How in heaven's came can he/they engage in so many events in one day? Takes some stamina. Does it mean anything that both South America and Hangzhou were with Zverev, I wonder?
