Playing Roger is always something special for me. I think it is also special for the fans since we played great matches all these years. But to play for a special cause as we are in Switzerland and Spain in December makes it even more special since we are alsou00a0 helping other people," said Nadal ahead of next week's pair of benefit exhibitions with Roger Federer.u00a0u00a0

Both, Federer and Nadal have begun preparations, with each man playing for free at the event sponsored by his rival's personal charity.
Money raised from that night of tennis go to the Roger Federer Foundation, which works mainly in his mother's native in South Africa. A day later, the action shifts to Madrid's Caja Magica in honour of the Fundacion Rafael Nadal.
Nadal has been promoting the event in a Spanish radio interview. "Both in Spain and Switzerland people have turned to the charity match," he said.u00a0
Federer expects fans watch the games as it is for a good cause. "I am sure that the fans in Zurich, Madrid and those around the world who will catch it on TV or the internet will see some exciting tennis for a great cause," he said.
Between them, the pair have finished the last five years at the top of the year-end ATP rankings.
