ATP All-Stars raising funds for Japan

After the devastating Earthquake and Tsunami that struck Japan earlier this month, players from the ATP Tour got together and took part in a 40-minute Football Match for Hope against the Fort Lauderdale Strikers to raise funds for the victims of the disaster.

The match took place in Miami on Wednesday evening and the Fort Lauderdale Strikers came out victorious winning the game 4-2.

Great Britain's Andy Murray scored two goals in the game for the ATP All-Stars and Cypriot Marcos Baghdatis also scored a brace.

World No. 2 Novak Djokovic captained the ATP team which included the likes of the Spaniard Rafael Nadal, Frenchmen Richard Gasquet & Jo Wilfred Tsonga and Kei Nishikori of Japan.
