Today, Roger Federer gave an audio interview to Argentina's AM 910 Radio Network.



Here are few excerpts from the interview :::





Q) What brings you to Argentina, apart from the money?



Roger Federer::: I have been playing all across the world & Argentina is one of the places I have never been to. Argentina is one of the powerhouse of Tennis & many sports. I have had the urge to play in Argentina ever since I started playing. For me, its the urge to play in Argentina & meet fans & not about money. Playing an exhibition will be great fun, relaxing. I am personally more excited than even the fans.





Q) How will it feel to play in front of 20,600 fans on a new court that is being built especially for the two exhibition matches between Federer & Del Potro?




Roger Federer:: I heard & its hard to believe. I am going to be nervous. 20,000 people will be the 2nd biggest stadium I will ever be playing in, the biggest being of course the US Open, so it does make me nervous.



For all of you who are not aware, the two exhibition matches between Federer & Del Potro will be played in Tigre. Tigre is a town in the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, situated in the north of Greater Buenos Aires, 28 kms north of Buenos Aires city.

Q) There won't just be 20,000 fans, but 40,000 fans as you will be playing two exhibition matches on back to back days?



Roger Federer: The initial plan was to play only one match in Tigre, but the tickets got sold out so quickly, which I was so happy to see, so we decided for two matches as coming for one day would have been a bit of disappointment.
