In the final exhibition match for the Swiss maestro in South America, Roger Federer took on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in Bogota, Colombia (Encuentro Bancolombia exhibition). The atmosphere was electric, and the Swiss was an orchestra conductor, raising the level of excitement with the fans throughout the match. Both players put on a show, with spectacular shot-making.
The Swiss star dazzled the crowd with two amazing backhand winners late in the match, and even got hit in a silly location trying to get out of the way. Players signed autographs for all the ball kids afterwards, and all the players who participated earlier were presented with traditional Colombian hats and bags, along with memorable trophies. Thus it ends the tennis for Roger Federer in 2012, ATP World Tour and his Gillette Federer Tour.
