Roger Federer and Andy Murray played the Match for Africa No.3 in Zurich today, with Federer winning in straight sets and the real winner being the Roger Federer Foundation, which had reportedly raised $1.4 million for charity. The Roger Federer Foundation generates about $6 million Swiss Francs per year, according to the Foundation’s annual report.

Federer has partnered with entrepreneur and philanthropist Bill Gates for the Match for Africa 4, which will be held on April 29 in Seattle. Here’s more about the Foundation and their mission:

This is the fourth Match for Africa event for the Roger Federer Foundation, which has given $29 million to support children's education in six African countries and Federer's native Switzerland. An estimated 650,000 children across 16 programs have so far benefitted from the foundation's giving, which emphasizes systemic change and sustainable local impact. By 2018, it aims to expand its work to support one million children—a benchmark the upcoming event in Seattle will help it reach.
