 PHOTOS: BACKSTAGE AT HIT FOR HAITI

Some nice behind the scenes photos from Hit for Haiti. I’m guessing that these were all taken before the guys played their match on Friday. I’m basing this on Rafa’s t-shirt, which he changed once he was on court. Also, everyone seems to be getting along!

“I know my fabrics, Rafa, and this is not 100% organic cotton!”:

Rafa’s looking. . . mellow.

Is that a come-hither look from Pete Sampras? I’m starting to suspect everyone hit the hospitality suite beforehand.

Love Roger’s indulgent expression – “Awwww, old people kissing!”:

A senior moment from Stefanie:

Here’s Rod Laver desperately trying to catch Roger’s eye: “I sense danger, my son!”

“Martina, you talk the best shit!” “No, Andre, you do – really!”

Speaking of the, um, awkward moment between Sampras and Agassi, Matt Cronin @tennisreporters was at Roger’s post-match presser on Sunday night after Fed beat Hanescu in three sets. Federer gave his take on the situation:

“I don’t think it was crazy bad, but it was a bit awkward because you didn’t know, was it just fun or not fun?”

And:

“Now being a father, I thought we had to give both guys a time out.”

Summed it up quite nicely, I think. Roger and Rafa were definitely the most mature guys on the court that night. But let’s remember the most important thing about the evening: $1 Million raised for earthquake relief!
