Speaking about the upcoming match, Federer said, “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,” while Nadal added, “Roger and I have shared so many magical moments on and off the court. Travelling with him to Cape Town and playing for the benefit of children is something am very excited about. It will be my first time in the region with roger as a tour guide- that will be fun.”

The two also came up with a throwback memory to the fans' delight.
