第一場比賽由52歲的博格對陣49歲的麥肯羅, 兩人在前12局各自的發球局裡都沒有讓對手取得破發, 在比賽進入打到決勝盤的搶7, 博格率先破掉發球分一路取得5-0的大比分領先, 麥肯羅最終以2-7落敗。 博格在今次表演賽以７：６戰勝麥肯羅。

第二場比賽由瑞士球王費德勒對陣布雷克, 費德勒狀態不錯, 他在第3局率先破掉布雷克的發球局。 但隨后的幾局各自保住發球局。 費德勒與比歷克合演一場高水平的比賽, 最終由費達拿以6:4及6:4擊敗比歷克, 憑借出色發揮２：０擊敗布萊克。 這是費德勒繼本周早些時候在吉隆坡之后, 一周內第二次戰勝比歷克。

最後1場雙打賽事, 麥肯羅與布萊克則以１０：７勝費德勒與博格。

費達拿經理人公司宣佈, 費達拿明年肯定不會第3度訪澳門, 但這項網球爭霸戰仍會選址在威尼斯人。 明年將會有新面孔, 世界頭1、2位的球手是考慮之列。 希望每年都為球迷帶來特別的場面。 澳門表演賽是費達拿今年最後一個表演賽。 明年一月與西班牙「一哥」拿度、梅利、迪維丹高及巴拉克在中東表演後, 他將會減少表演賽數量。

4位球壇巨星將於今日啟程前往泰國進行第3站的表演賽。
