Topic: Hit for Haiti

We all know the horrors that are going on right now for Haiti, and many of us will have done what we can to help, even if only a little.

Tennis players are like many other sportsmen, they have big hearts and big pockets. Roger Federer organised a completely relaxed, fundraising game to help support the relief effort in Haiti.

The players involved included Fed, Nadal, Djokovic, Serena Williams, Lleyton Hewitt, Roddick, Kim Clijsters, and many more.

The players wore microphones, making the audience and themselves painfully aware of their grunting and groaning, and they played in a couple of mixed doubles and singles matches, sacrificing some of their last minute training to get involved.

I encourage everyone to cehck out the footage on Youtube if you can. This is a great video to start off with, from here they will take you to all the other videos.
