‘A night with Roger Federer and friends’ is a charity gala which will see Roger Federer take on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in an exhibition match at the Rod Laver Arena on January 8, 2014.

The initiative, taken by the Roger Federer Foundation, will also have some music, entertainment and a sound and light show. The proceeds of the night will be used for the education of African children. Tennis legend Rod Laver is also expected to be in attendance on the court named after him.
