小威去年就參加這場賽事，當時是在Omaha, Neb.舉行。她非常期待今年冬天，能在
南卡參與這次的活動。在禮拜二的電話訪問中，小威表示：這是個非常成功的活動，
我對於活動的過程感到十分的興奮。當我去年參加了這活動之後，我就知道我今年將
會再度參加。我也喜歡每一年都在不同的城市參加這活動。因為到處都有支持我的
粉絲，這是一個我對於支持我的人，表達我的支持的好方法。
: The event will feature Roddick taking on 6-foot-9 John Isner in a singles
: exhibition match. Williams, the defending U.S. Open champion with nine Grand
: Slam titles on her resume, will play Caroline Wozniacki, ranked No. 12 in the
: world.
這賽事的賣點在於男子單打的表演賽，大安迪將會出戰6呎9吋的John Isner。而小威，
今年美網冠軍以及９次大滿貫得主，將出戰目前排名１２的丹麥美少女－Wozniacki。
ps. Isner也是個發球重砲，不過他好像大部分都只打美國境內的比賽，所以排名不高，
發球動作十分流暢有威力，不過缺點就是移位太慢，協調性不太好。算是Karlovic
型的球員。
Wozniacki發球威力不錯，也是拿納豆拍，其它就沒什麼印象了，只看過她被莎娃
賞蛋的一盤比賽。 @ @
: "She's up and coming," Williams said. "She's doing well. She had a breakout
: year this year. Next year she will be even better. It will be good to play
: against her and get a feel for her game."
小威表示：她正快速的成長竄起，表現的相當好，今年有了很大的突破。明年她將會
有更好的表現。這次能跟她比賽將是個很好的機會。
: A mixed doubles exhibition, featuring Roddick and Williams against Isner and
: Wozniacki, also will be played.

: and a DJ sound show has made tour stops in places such as Omaha, Little Rock,

已經在許多不同的地方舉行包括Omaha, Little Rock,.......。

Roddick serves tennis with a side of ham
Rock-n-Racquets plays to crowd
By C. Ray Hall
crayhall@courier-journal.com
The Courier-Journal
Surely some of the fans at Freedom Hall last night had seen Andy Roddick play
tennis.
Others, no doubt, had seen Serena Williams, his doubles partner, perform her
wonders on the court.
But few, surely, had seen a man try to close out a set by serving while
holding a potted poinsettia. With a ball boy tossing the ball.
That's what Roddick did when he and Williams led 5-4 over John Isner and
Caroline Wozniacki in the opening act of last night's exhibition.
The ball-boy ploy didn't work, so Roddick had Williams toss the ball on the
next point. One exchange later, Roddick -- still cradling the poinsettia with
his left arm -- hit a forehand past Wozniacki to close out the 36-minute 6-4
victory.
That set opened the ICAP Energy Rock-n-Racquets show, which also included
men's and women's singles. (Wozniacki defeated Williams 8-4; Roddick topped
Isner 8-4 in the nightcap.)
Rock-n-Racquets, brought to town by Jonathan Blue's sports-and-entertainment
enterprise, BEST, supports Roddick's foundation for at-risk children. The
show includes tennis, live and recorded music and a combination
emcee-umpire-narrator-provocateur named Wayne Bryan. (Sample patter: "John
Isner has been trying to get a date with Caroline Wozniacki the last three
years. He hopes to get lucky the next three nights.")
The four-player tour goes to Columbia, S.C., tonight and Knoxville, Tenn.,
tomorrow afternoon.
Before play, the players signed autographs in the arena's front concourse.
Soon the line grew to 150, snaking around a corner toward the concession
stand that specializes in pork chop sandwiches.
More than one female autograph seeker showed up with a Serena Williams doll
-- still in the original package, unopened. Some fans peered over the line to
sneak a peek at the stars; others held up their cell phones to shoot photos.
Ron Clark, a Hoosier, got a white cap autographed. The scrawls looked so
mysterious as to resemble doctor's signatures.
"I'm just glad they brought it here," Clark said of the event, "because
there's not much (pro) tennis here. You have to go to Indianapolis or
Cincinnati."
Clark's daughter, Katherine, the No. 1 singles player at Jeffersonville High
School, also got autographs. Being an exhibition match, Katherine said the
point was "just fun."
"Tennis should be fun," her dad said. "Not everybody can make $10 million
playing."
Roddick, wearing a white cap backward, certainly had fun, even when flailing
at a 137 mph serve from Isner.
Before the first salvo of the night -- a serve by the 6-foot-9 Isner --
Roddick had quipped, "Serena's never returned a serve from Sasquatch."
(Williams' return floated into the net; later, she actually aced Isner.)
The second point of the night produced a long, practically artful standoff,
with all four players at the net, firing grenades. When it finally ended, the
crowd exhaled and Roddick headed toward the exit, waving to the crowd and
yelling, "Good night! Thank you!"
He stuck around, of course, playing tennis and playing the crowd. When he
sprinted from baseline to baseline in a futile attempt to return a shot,
Williams cracked, "Venus (her sister) would've got it."
Looking winded, Roddick replied, "I wish I could argue."
During a long baseline exchange with Wozniacki, Roddick emitted a series of
high-pitched grunts, like Maria Sharapova. At one point he staged a John
McEnroe-like explosion over a lineswoman's call. Later, sensing the crowd had
grown a bit staid, he scolded the fans: "It's a little quiet. This is not
golf."
