MELBOURNE (AFP) The top stars in tennis raised at least 200,000 dollars (185,000 US) for the Haiti earthquake victims Sunday in a hastily-arranged charity doubles match led by Roger Federer and Serena Williams. Federer organised the event in Rod Laver Arena on the eve of the Australian Open after watching the tragic events in the Caribbean nation unfold on television. Federer managed to rustle up fellow world number one Williams, Rafael Nadal, Kim Clijsters, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick and Australian favourites Lleyton Hewitt and Samantha Stosur. Despite the late notice, it was sell-out with 15,000 fans packing Rod Laver Arena and paying 10 dollars (nine US) each, with all the proceeds going to Partners in Health, a charity aiding Haiti. Tennis Australia did an amazing job promoting the event in such a short time, added Federer. It is wonderful to see, I am happy it was such a success. Tiley said it was too soon to put a figure on money raised, but said it would be at least 200,000 dollars (185,000 US). The players were split into two teams, red and blue, the colours of the Haitian flag, with former Grand Slam champion Jim Courier in the umpires chair. Clijsters, Djokovic, Nadal and Roddick were on the Blues and the rest on the Reds, with Federers team winning the light-hearted match 7-6. Thee players were fitted with portable microphones to joke with the crowd. Roddick - foot-faulted by a linesman - provided the comic highlight by threatening to send Williams in to seek retribution along the lines of her US Open outburst last September. Williams took the joke in good spirit, doubling over in laughter. The 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck Haiti last week, bringing death and misery on an unprecedented scale to the impoverished nation. The latest toll from the Haitian government is at least 50,000 people dead and 1.5 million homeless, but those figures could soar once the full extent of the tragedy is known. Early estimates had spoken of 100,000 dead.
