They may be fierce rivals on the court, but they have always maintained a good and gracious relationship whether its on court or off the court. We know both of them are highly competitive and they do not give an inch while playing against each other, but at the same time they command huge respect for each other while playing the game as well. They do criticize each other’s game after a particular game is over in a press conference, but they have never hit each other ‘below the belt’.

In 2010 they both jointly organized ‘Match for Africa’ in Zurich, Switzerland and then in Madrid. The motive of these matches was for the benefit of children living in the African continent.
