Roger Federer vs Rod Laver: Game Of The Greats

Roger Federer traded shots with his hero Rod Laver on Wednesday in the stadium that bears the Australian great's name.

The 17-times Grand Slam champion enjoyed a few rallies with the 75-year-old, who was dressed in traditional whites and impressed a packed crowd with his movement ahead of Federer's exhibition match with French world number 10 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.

"Hitting with Rod Laver for me clearly is an absolute dream come true," Federer told reporters, "It's in his arena as well, it's named after him and he deserves it so much..  

"While I was playing my racket was feeling extremely heavy, that means I was very nervous which I really was because you don't want to miss a shot.

"I was happy we had some rallies. What an honour it was for me and I hope that the crowd enjoyed it and I'm very thankful that he was willing to do something like this because it's not normal in any way and that's why I really appreciate it."

Later, Roger pleased the crowd with a 6-7(5) 6-3 7-5 win over Tsonga in the fund-raising event for his charity, the Roger Federer Foundation, on Wednesday, January 8th. Roger and Friends raised more than $1 million 

"What a pleasure to play any match here, in particular a match for a good cause," said Federer. "I played some of the biggest matches of my career right here. It’s very special being back. It was a dream come true to play some balls with Rod Laver, spend some time with him, speak with him. The most important thing tonight was to enjoy it, have fun with Jo and get into the mood of the Australian Open. 
"It's a pleasure playing the Australian Open. I’ve been coming for nearly 15 years. This was perfect preparation, but so much more tonight."

A Night With Roger Federer & Friends (starts at 4m00) - FULL Replay! (Thanks Australian Open!)

"I’m really pleased to be here tonight," said Tsonga, speaking to Hewitt. "To help Roger is always an honour. I played well. It was a good match tonight. It’s always tough to play against Roger. It’s great to be here tonight for a great cause."

Rihanna's Celebrity Friends To Be Styled To Rock This Fall On Bravo

Bravo has announced that a new fashion competition show Styled to Rock will premiere October 25 at 8 PM ET/PT. The show is executive produced by Rihanna and features 12 up-and-coming designers who will compete to become the next big thing in fashion. They will aim to create a new look to define the celebrity guest's image, and in turn battle it out in the sewing room. 

Riri's got some A-List company, too: she will be joined by producer Pharrell Williams, international model Erin Wasson and singer's stylist, Mel Ottenberg, as they mentor the contestants, PLUS, the celebrity guest list will feature: Kid Cudi, Miley Cyrus, Carly Rae Jepsen, Khloé Kardashian, Kylie Minogue (airs on Friday, November 1st, 2013 at 8PM), Kelly Osbourne, the Band Perry, Naya Rivera, Big Sean, Nervo and Ne-Yo.

There's a catch with the competition: only half of the contestants selected by the mentors will get to showcase their new design for the client and have a shot at winning. The other half will be placed up for elimination. But they have a big incentive to take it to the limits: one winner will score a grand prize of $100,000, a fashion feature in Glamour magazine, and the chance to become the next member of Rihanna's design team.
