Australian Open champion and 18-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer
has accepted Andy Murray's invitation to play in Scotland for the first time.

The 35-year-old Swiss will take part in Andy Murray Live,
the world number one's charity exhibition event at Glasgow's SSE Hydro in November.

"He's just extremely popular," said Murray
"He's one of the best players that's ever played the game.
"It's not just how much he's won, but the way he plays and carries himself."

Murray added: "I saw a little video where he was wearing a kilt
when he was announcing that I was going to play in his event over in Switzerland.

"He's returning the favour in November. It's really good he's doing it.
"He said a few years ago he wants to go to places he's not been. It's great."

Murray's first exhibition in Glasgow sold out in 48 hours
and raised £ 300,000 for children's charities.  (BBC NEWS)
