The Match in Africa 6, Cape Town - Feb. 7, 2020

Good to see you Rog! Thanks for the pics guys!

Lovely indeed! Thanks, Dino!

Lovely, Dinora.

For us, in Brasil (maybe in all LA, I don't know), the exhibition will be shown also by ESPN, but still don't know if the whole thing or only Roger/Nadal's match..

news, interviews, beautiful pictures. Thank you CROMAR, good to see Roger excited about his foundation and this event that is close to his heart. BTW also wowed at how you made Team Gateserer dance,

Coverage in Brasil start at 14:15 (local time) til 17:30 on the ESPN channel - That's the whole thing!  

This from the ESPN Brasil TV schedule:
14:15 TÊNIS: THE MATCH IN AFRICA: ROGER FEDERER X RAFAEL NADAL - AO VIVO

Seeing that it's quite confusing with two matches and all those time zones, and various TV coverage starting at different times, I did a little chart showing the corresponding program times in different parts of the world, as well as the main TV channels that are providing live coverage of the event in the last column, with their corresponding broadcasting start time. I hope this helps.

Note that ESPN in the US is starting their broadcast on ESPN3 for the doubles, and then switching to ESPN2 for the singles match, according to this ESPN press release.  


Global coverage:

Tennis TV is providing live streaming of the singles match (starting at 19:05 SAST) for free. However, you need to register first to create a (free) account. I just tested it, and it's very easy (no credit card required), just a name and email address. You can pre-register now at: TennisTV.com

A preview of the stadium...



Well, wait, is this clay?  No, it's hard court, says Roger. So, why is it red?  Well, let Roger tell you...

"It’s to make Rafa feel at home!"

Roger played mini-mini tennis with Siya Kolisi, professional Rugby Player from Cape Town, Husband & Dad, joking around in an exchange of tweets afterwards, Roger saying that he didn't want another Nadal on the tour, to which Siya replied that he didn't have to worry about that!  

Roger in his new 'home' stadium!...  It has been a long dream of his to play in South Africa and soon it will become reality. He couldn't be happier! and I am happy for him too.  

beautiful picture!

cromar, thank you! ESPN (and almost all the channels here) has a very bad info. You turn on the tv and the program showed is different than the program announced. 

You can't find a more famous quartet in the whole world!  

   

And we are live! Roger's mother on court with Rog and being interviewed.
