Dubai love game for Roger, touch of luxury for Del Potro

Five time Dubai champion Roger Federer took some time out from his busy schedule yesterday to visit one of his favourite destinations in Dubai, the iconic Burj Al Arab hotel.

Del Potro was invited by Emirates to experience the ultimate in luxury with their private Airbus A319 aircraft, Emirates Executive.

Roger was interviewed by well-known tennis commentator Annabel Croft and reflected on his experiences in Dubai over the years and his impressions of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships.

Tournament number 2 seed and ATP world ranked number 4 Juan Martin del Potro took a trip to the airport yesterday ahead of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships this week.

A regular visitor to Dubai, Roger praised the tournament, saying he believed it was voted the best ATP 500 event nine times in the last ten years because it is so well organized and the players are so well cared for.

Del Potro was offered traditional Arabic hospitality from two of Emirates Executive’s cabin crew with dates and Arabic coffee.
