Video: Hewitt and Federer Trade Volleys on Speedboats in Sydney Harbor

File this one under “WTF?”

Roger Federer and Lleyton Hewitt did their part to promote Monday night’s “Fast4” tennis exhibition by exchanging a few volleys from their separate speedboats.

Okay, tough to call this a rally—it’s more of a test to see if tennis balls float in salt water—but it helped drum up attention for tennis, and it seems like Roger and Lleyton had a good time doing it, so let’s chalk it up as a win-win (even if it’s a gimmicky win-win) and move on to this week’s ATP event in Sydney, which is already underway.

In case you’re wondering, Federer won the exhibition in five sets, and a good time was had by all.
