Moya & Gaudio play exho at La Bombonera

Former French Open champions Carlos Moya and Gaston Gaudio played an exhibition match before 20,000 spectators. The encounter took place during half-time of the Boca Juniors-Newell’s Old Boys soccer game at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires.


"It was a fun experience to play tennis at a soccer stadium. La Bombonera is a historic place, especially for people who love soccer like me." - Moya said.



It's a great way of promoting the tournament in Buenos Aires as well as tennis in general. It's also the one and only chance for the multiple tournament winners to play in front of such a big crowd. Nowadays it's a great success, when only 1% of that number of people wants to watch the two former greats struggle...
