STATOIL MASTERS TENNIS
McEnroe, Rafter Join #AskRF
London, U.K.


Roger Federer was in a festive mood as he took
over Twitter.

It was the No. 1 trending topic on Twitter as Roger Federer took over for nearly two hours to welcome questions from fans.

It was too good an opportunity to miss for John McEnroe and Pat Rafter, who tweeted the 17-time Grand Slam champion from London, where they are competing at the Statoil Masters Tennis.

McEnroe asked: “@rogerfederer When are you going to start using me as your art advisor? Happy New Year. #askRF”

To which Federer responded: “@ChampionsTennis Let's talk about it in Australia John. Hope you're enjoying the #DidJohnMcEnroeJustAskMeAQuestion #askRF”

Rafter, who had a perfect 3-0 record against Federer on the ATP World Tour, teased the Swiss: “@rogerfederer When will you be ready to come onto the @ChampionsTennis and try to get your first win against me? #askRF”

To which Federer responded: “@ChampionsTennis Pat, I'll stay on the ATP tour as long as I can so I don't have to play you again #ScaryServeAndVolley”

ATP Champions Tour 2014
Gonzalez Makes ATP Champions Tour Debut; Roddick's Return Creates Buzz
London, England


Fernando Gonzalez makes his ATP Champions Tour debut.

Spoiler:

The 2007 Australian Open finalist Fernando Gonzalez started his ATP Champions Tour career with an impressive 6-4, 6-3 victory over Thomas Enqvist. Playing for the first time inside the Royal Albert Hall, the Chilean showed the Statoil Masters Tennis crowd that his famous forehand has lost none of its potency.

"That was really a lot of fun," he said afterwards. "It means a lot to play in front of a lot of people here and with really good players like Thomas. We were both hitting the ball really well and happily I felt really good on the court. The most important thing was that it was a really fun match."

Gonzalez is a debutant at the Royal Albert Hall this year. And like everyone that steps onto the court for the first time, he was in awe at the splendour of the venue.

"This place is really beautiful," he said. "I enjoy so much being in front of a crowd like this, it stops me from missing being on the Tour. It was a great experience for me. I couldn't stop watching and looking around at the building. The Hall is amazing, it is unbelievable to be here."

Gonzalez will now play off against Tim Henman on Saturday, with the winner guaranteed qualification for Sunday's final.

"I've played Tim many times on the Tour before, but this will obviously be the first time on the Champions Tour," Gonzalez said. "He comes to the net a lot and I like to play against that kind of style. Always we have really good matches and I think it's going to be really fun to play him with a British crowd here."

Roddick’s Return Creates A Buzz

Andy Roddick will play his first matches at the Royal Albert Hall on Friday when he takes on Sergi Bruguera in singles in the afternoon and then joins up with Tim Henman to meet Ross Hutchins and Jamie Murray in the evening.

In the meantime, the media have enjoyed talking to him. He has done big interviews with the Daily Telegraph, Independent and Metro newspapers, appeared on Sky News Sunrise with Eamonn Holmes, and taken part in a BBC Radio tennis debate with Tim Henman and Pat Cash.

BBC Radio Tells The Mansour Bahrami Story

Every year, spectators come to the Royal Albert Hall in their thousands to watch John McEnroe, Tim Henman and Pat Cash, and leave talking about Mansour Bahrami, the trick-shot artist.

Last night, as part of a one-hour tennis special from the Statoil Masters Tennis, BBC Radio 5 Live talked to Bahrami about his extraordinary life. It including the moving story about how he was beaten to the ground by guards when trying to play tennis for the first time in Iran, how he lost all of his money in Paris, and how he reached the French Open doubles final before going on to become one of the most entertaining players in history.

Earlier in the tennis show, Andy Roddick, Tim Henman and Pat Cash got together to discuss Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Serena Williams.
