Nadal & Djokovic Undertake Glacier Challenge

The tennis world never really sleeps.
Despite it being the off season, the tours leading players have once again been on the move, launching the 2014 season with a series of exhibition matches throughout South America.

The event organized by the Argentine Ministry of Tourism held at the Perto Moreno Glacier.

 The best two players had a hit on Saturday to promote one of the most visited South American destinations, the Perto Moreno glacier in the southern Argentinian province of Rio Gallegos. Aptly named  "Tennis in the Ice Ages" the mock match took place on board a ferry which had a tennis court specially built to allow the two tennis greats the chance to show their skills.

Both players have also been involved in a series of exhibition matches used as a farewell for the tennis great David Nalbandian who retired this year.  Earlier on thursday in Buenos Aires, Nalbandian, considered one of the greatest players never to win a grand slam, defeated Nadal in straight sets in the friendly match-up.

Andy Murray (returning from surgery) has also been involved in recent charity exhibitions. Last Saturday he returned to the court on Neckar Island, owned by Richard Branson. The Virgin billionaire sponsored the exhibition matchup which saw leading players face off against other celebrities.

Federer however has yet to resurface since his ATP world tour finals semifinal loss. Skipping the South American run of exhibition matches, his plans to concentrate on his form to the 2014 season should see him pose a strong start when he returns to Australia in late December for the Brisbane International.
