Rafa Nadal vs Federer in charity match

The match between the current world number two and three respectively is entirely for charity, and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Roger Federer Foundation, a humanitarian organisation set up by the Swiss player.

Federer and Mallorca-born Rafa Nadal – who is due to marry his childhood sweetheart Meri Perelló in the autumn – are arguably the two stars every tennis fan most wants to see play against each other and are universally acknowledged to give the most exciting show on earth when they face each other on the court.

They recently played each other at the Wimbledon semi-finals (pictured) whilst world number one Novak Djokovic was up against Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut.

Federer and the Serbian star faced each other in the final and Djokovic carried off the title.

Nadal and Federer will play their charity match in Cape Town, South Africa on February 7, 2020 at the Cape Stadium.
