Red Team vs. Blue Team at Rod Laver Arena, during a quickly organized "Hit for Haiti" charity event held just prior to the 2010 Australian Open. Thought up by Roger Federer, the players were organized into two four-person teams (named for the colors in the Haitian flag), allowed substitutions, and wore microphones during play. Proceeds from the event were to go towards helping with the relief effort of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The Red Team (far court) was made up of Federer, Serena Williams, Lleyton Hewitt, and Samantha Stosur. The Blue Team (near court) was Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, and Kim Clijsters. All except Hewitt and Roddick are playing in this photo.
