Match for Africa and Joining Forces for the Benefit of Children
"Match for Africa" was a tennis exhibition match played on 21 December 2010. The match was contested between World Number One player Rafael Nadal and World Number Two Roger Federer in Zurich, Switzerland. It was played to benefit the Roger Federer Foundation, which raises money to fund schooling, transport and food for children in Africa. It was the first of two exhibition matches contested by the players in the space of two days, with a match being hosted in Madrid in Nadal's home county, Spain the following day. The match in Madrid was for the benefit of Nadal's foundation and the match was titled "Joining Forces for the Benefit of Children", played at the Caja Mágica.
Demand for the event at the Hallenstadion was high, with the 10,500 tickets being sold out within minutes of going on sale in September 2010. The match was won by home-favourite Federer in three sets, with a 4–6, 6–3, 6–3 scoreline. The second match in Madrid was won by Nadal 7–6(7–3), 4–6, 6–3.
The matches raised nearly $4 million for charity, with $2.5 million going to the Roger Federer Foundation and $1.3 million to Fundación Rafa Nadal; with more to come in for Nadal's charity as segments of the court were sold from the Madrid match.
