Tennis fans will flock to Malaysia in November, as Roger Federer will face off against Rafael Nadal and Bjorn Borg will clash with John McEnroe in exhibition matches, organisers said Monday. The four have confirmed their participation in the "Countdown of Champions", set for November 18 at the Bukit Jalil stadium south of Kuala Lumpur, Jaafar Abu, executive secretary of the Lawn Tennis Association of Malaysia, told AFP.
"Last year, we had Pete Sampras and Richard Gasquet along with Nadal and Federer. It has become something of a tradition for us to have a celebrity exhibition match every November," he said. The world number one Federer will get another chance to avenge his losses in this year's French Open and Wimbledon finals to world number two Nadal.
