Roger Federer returns to the court stateside on Monday night, as the Swiss faces American Jack Sock in Match for Africa 5.

The 20-time Grand Slam champion is in Silicon Valley to raise charitable funds for the Roger Federer Foundation and will face the World No.10 under lights in a three-set exhibition at the SAP Center in San Jose.

Federer will also partner Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates in a unique doubles match against Sock and Savannah Guthrie, co-host of the NBC Today Show.

It is the fifth event Federer and his team have laid on to support children’s education in Africa, and it follows last year’s successful charity match in Seattle.

Before taking to the court, the 36-year-old revealed a new set of Air Max 95s. Pretty swish!

The match will be streamed live on Federer’s Facebook page, with proceedings set to get underway at 7am UAE time on Tuesday morning.

Having reclaimed the World No1 ranking last month, Federer is due in action in Indian Wells this week.
