Roger and Rafa open season
Roger and Rafael Nadal launched the 2012 ATP World Tour season in style on Sunday by playing tennis at sunset in the spectacular Katara amphitheatre in Doha, surrounded by more than 4000 burning Roman candles.
Roger kicks off his season campaign at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open, an ATP World Tour 250 tournament, which begins today. "It was a very special atmosphere playing in the amphitheatre with all the candles lit up,” Roger said. “It was a mixture of dramatic, romantic and Arabian Nights. It felt very much alive. I really enjoyed it."
Roger enters the Qatar ExxonMobil Open as the No.2 seed. Celebrating its 20th edition in 2012, the Doha tournament has been won by the likes of Boris Becker, Stefan Edberg (twice), Jim Courier, Marcelo Rios, Andy Murray (twice), and Roger (three times). It is the fourth consecutive year that Roger and Rafa have kicked off the new ATP World Tour season in Doha.
