FEDERER TO MEET FANS TUESDAY

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 (Bernama) -- Swiss tennis ace Roger Federer is
scheduled to meet fans at the Petronas Twin Towers here on Tuesday in
conjunction with the Showdown of Champions Kuala Lumpur 2008.

The men's singles World Number Two has allocated 40 minutes to meet his
fans at the lobby of the Petronas Philharmonic Hall between 11.45am and 12.25pm,
said Adlan Zabri, the Chief Executive Officer of LD Sports Sdn Bhd, the
promoters of the event.

"This will be a chance in a lifetime for Malaysian tennis fans to get this
close with Federer. He has agreed to sign autographs for the fans and this is
indeed a rare occasion," he said.

He said as the turn out would be huge, fans are advised to assemble at
Petronas Philharmonic Hall's lobby area early and to follow instructions issued
by security personnel at the location to avoid disappointment.

Federer, together with James Blake, and legends John McEnroe and Bjorn
Borg will be participating in the Showdown of Champions at Putra Stadium, Bukit
Jalil on the same day.

Meanwhile, one lucky fan will be driving home a Proton Satria Neo if
he or she catches a golden ball hit by the players prior to the start of the
second match between Federer and Blake.

Aside from being thrilled by the skills of world class tennis players,
spectators of the Showdown of Champions will also be entertained by the
country's leading divas like Jaclyn Victor, Ning Baizura and Ella.
