Nike Clash of the Champions

Roger was defeated 5-7 by Rafael Nadal in the "Nike Clash of the Champions" on Tuesday.

"We’ve done a lot of good causes. This is another one," Roger said. “This is a special night for all of us.”

The exhibition match was hosted at University of Oregon and also featured Russian Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka. American tennis legend John McEnroe made a surprise visit to the event and looked really impressed by it.

Funds collected from the Nike Clash of the Champions will go to the Roger Federer Foundation and the foundations of Nadal, Sharapova and Williams, along with Azarenka’s charity, the Children’s Clinic for Cancer.
