Inaugural Exhibition

As though we need yet another exhibition in the lead up to a Slam:

Nadal, Federer and Murray lead the field for the inaugural Guinot Mary Cohr Masters exhibition. Eight other players including Marat Safin, James Blake, Tommy Haas, Stanislas Wawrinka and the Frenchmen Julien Benneteau and Arnaud Clément will join the top-ranked trio for an unusual and original set-up. The team competition will feature the same balls and court conditions as Roland Garros.

(...)

The 12 players will be divided up into two teams of six, Guinot vs. Mary Cohr, coached by internationally renowned captains. Two best-of-three set matches a day from 1:30 p.m. onwards will commence. Each player will play once only during the three-day tournament and the two captains will challenge one another on the Friday just before the presentation of the trophy. Because the stands are nearer the courts than anywhere else, the spectators will get a close-up of the stars in competition.
