MACAO: Roger Federer and Bjorn Borg will team up in doubles in a special event here in November, possibly against the men who finished their famous Wimbledon streaks, in a Blackrock Tour of Champions event.

Federer and Borg both won five consecutive Wimbledon singles titles, with Federer's run only ending earlier this month with a loss in the final to No 2-ranked Rafael Nadal.

Federer and Borg, who won five straight Wimbledon titles from 1976-80 before losing the '81 final to John McEnroe, face McEnroe and possibly Nadal on the other side of the net.

McEnroe's partner against the Federer-Borg combination will be either Nadal or American James Blake at The Venetian Macau Tennis Showdown. His partner will come from whichever country loses the Davis Cup semifinal between Spain and the United States in September.

The tournament will start with a one-set showdown between old foes Borg and McEnroe.

It will end with Federer and Borg teaming up against McEnroe and his partner in a 10-point doubles tiebreaker.
