While speaking about the charity match, Federer said that it was a dream come true for him as he is playing in his mother’s home country and that too against his toughest opponent Rafael Nadal. “We share not only the love for tennis but also for the good cause of giving children a better start in education and in life. I feel privileged to have other leading philanthropists on board to entertain millions of people in the stadium and on TV. It will be a once-in-a-lifetime moment for my family and I.” he further added. Both Federer and Nadal were last seen in action during the Australian Open 2020.
