TOURISM BOOST: SA Football Stadium Sets New Tennis World Record by TMKsouth: 3:25pm On Feb 14, 2020
In a boost for tourism to South Africa, one of the country's football stadiums has broken one of tennis' world records.

Roger Federer may have defeated Rafael Nadal in their Match in Africa exhibition at Cape Town Stadium in the past week, but everyone was a winner at the tennis spectacular.

Match organisers confirmed the crowd of 51 954 broke the world record attendance figure for a tennis match set in November 2019 when then Federer beat Germany's Alexander Zverev in Mexico City in front of 42 517 fans.

The Cape Town event raised $3,5-million for the 20-Grand Slam champion's Roger Federer Foundation.

Would be interesting hearing why you don't fancy SA as a country.

Howzit IG? Long time man.

That's the answer I'm expecting, but let's give him the benefit of doubt. People don't fancy other countries for all sorts of different reasons.
