Special Report: Strong Quake Hits Haiti |
Eight of the world's leading tennis players have devoted the eve of the Australian Open to Haiti. They played a unique exhibition match, in Melbourne to raise money for victims of last Tuesday's earthquake.
15 time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer teamed up with reigning Australian Open women's title-holder Serena Williams and Down Under natives Lleyton Hewitt and Samantha Stosur.
Their opponents were 2009 Australian Open men's winner Rafael Nadal, 2008 victor Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, and US Open champion Kim Clijsters.
