Roger and Rafa launch ATP World Tour

04.01.2009 | Off Court

Roger and Rafa helped launch the 2009 ATP World Tour in spectacular fashion on Sunday with a unique game of tennis aboard a traditional Arabian Dhow in Doha Bay.

On a specially designed onboard court floating in the Persian Gulf, the special match, between the world's two best players, also marked the start of the year-long race to crown the official 2009 ATP World Tour Champion. It was the pair's first meeting since the Wimbledon final in July last year.

Rafa and Roger are the top two seeds at the Qatar ExxonMobil Open 2009 played in Doha from January 5-10.

What a cute court, it is like a "mini me" court. I am glad to see that you and Rafa are doing things together for the sport rather than dwelling on the AO. It looks like you have moved past the negative and are working towards the next step. Rock on Ro
