This was one of the few good exhibitions played somewhat seriously. Great stuff.
I actually like this match much more "Match for Africa 2020", here they play seriously and show such quality and precise tennis. This is the showcase match that has the quality that is worth people's money
5:40 If Rafa could have played like that more often instead of playing 43 shots rallies all the time he would have had less injuries
I love federer
Do you like him? Little bit less.
