The charity exhibition matches played by Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in Zurich and Madrid last week have raised almost $4 million so far.

The day after the match in Zurich, Federer announced that the event had raised $2.5 million for his foundation to support projects in Africa.

On Thursday, Nadal's foundation said the Madrid event brought in $1.32 million, a figure that will increase once pieces of the court have been sold off. A small portion of the surface on which the match was played is being offered for sale, packaged in a clear plastic box signed by Nadal.
