Roger Federer welcomed fellow ATP tour star Jack Sock, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and NBC Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie to battle it out on the tennis court in the name of charity. The 2018 Match for Africa 5 raised more than $2,5 million for Federer's foundation.
Federer and Gates-who won a doubles match at the Match For Africa in Seattle last year-improved to 2-0 as a team, holding off a late surge to beat Sock and Guthrie in the first match of the night, 6-3. “I think I’m good at picking partners,” Gates said afterwards when asked about his undefeated record.
After a short break, Federer and Sock came back on court for the feature singles match and they certainly thrilled the sold-out crowd. It wasn’t all business-in the first set, Sock hit an anderhand ace after tricking Federer into looking away. The American No. 1 also gave his racquet to a ball girl for a few points early in the second set. But at the end of the day, the world No. 1 battled to victory.
