Stosur to visit Launceston Launceston, 15 October 2010 Tennis Australia Samantha Stosur, Australia’s No.1 player and ambassador for Tennis Australia ’s Courts and Facilities program, is set to visit the new $2.4 million Launceston regional sports centre on Monday 31 January 2011. Stosur will head to Tasmania after the Australian Open to prepare for the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group Tie against top ranked Italy. The current world No.8 is looking forward to checking out the new facility in Launceston and said it is a very exciting time for tennis in Australia. 澳洲头号选手Sam Stosur，同时也担任澳洲网球球场和设备改良计画的代表， 已计画在明年1/31号星期一(好准确的行程...)，造访Launceston(位於Tasmania州) 耗资240万元，新建成的地区运动中心。 Sam不久後会代表澳洲，在澳网後，於Tasmania参加联邦盃赛，对手是排名最高的 义大利队。 她非常期待能到此地了解中心设备，同时也表示，这对澳洲网球运动来说，是非常 令人感到兴奋的一刻。 “We have a chance to really develop and foster tennis facilities around the nation and give every child the chance to play and enjoy tennis, a sport that has given me so much. “The Courts and Facilities program is helping achieve this with 904 courts already approved for upgrades and more than $148.5 million generated in funding for facilities in the past three years. “If we can keep building new courts and facilities and fixing some of those that are in need of repair, it will give kids more and more opportunities to play tennis on quality surfaces. 她说，＂我们有这机会去发展澳洲地区的网球运动设备，就能提供更多的孩子加入 打网球的行列，并享受它们，就像这项运动给我带来的乐趣一样。＂ ＂这项球场设备改良计画，将使高达904座球场，拥有更好的打球环境，在前三年， 为了这项计画，有超过1亿4千8百50万的资金投入。＂ ＂如果我们能持续建新球场和设备，然後修缮那些老旧的，它将给予孩子们更多的 机会在好的场地上打球。＂ “Building tennis courts in communities is the best way to continue stimulating tennis at the grass roots and I want people to be able to discover tennis in their own neighbourhood. “It is a great social activity for every age group and a fantastic way to keep active and fit. “Tennis clubs are such an intrinsic part of communities and my hope is these types of upgrades will encourage even more people to get out and enjoy the game and get the same amount of enjoyment from tennis as I have. “I am particularly excited that we have got to a point where local, state and the federal government are working together, alongside tennis associations, to develop a project of this magnitude. “From what I have been told the new regional tennis centre will be a huge asset for Launceston, Tasmania and the larger tennis community and I can’t wait to see it for myself.” ＂要振奋人们打球的兴致，把球场建在社区内是最好的方法，我希望人们在自家附近， 就能与网球近距离接触。＂ ＂这是很好的社交管道，对每个年龄层而言，也是保持人们身心活络及健康的好方法。＂ ＂网球俱乐部是很确实的社群，我希望提升它们的品质，好鼓励更多的人们走出家门， 享受打网球的乐趣，并从中得到喜悦，就像我从网球本身得到的一样。＂ ＂与联邦政府和网球协会，一起衡量哪个地点适合设立球场，才能达到发展网球运动的 效果，我特别为此感到兴奋。＂ ＂我已经等不及看到新的网球中心，对Launceston及整个Tasmania所带来的正面影响， 并期待能建立更庞大的网球运动社群。＂ Work on Launceston's $2.4 million regional tennis centre is nearing completion, with the centre expected to be finished on 12 December this year. The tennis centre is attached to the Launceston Indoor Sports Arena and includes nine Plexipave courts and two synthetic clay courts. The project was funded with $1.4 million from the Tasmania State Government, $500,000 from the Australian Federal Government, $400,000 from the Launceston City Council and $110,000 from Tennis Australia through the National Court Rebate Scheme. The need for a facility of this type was identified a number of years ago and the redevelopment has been a great example of local, state and federal governments working with state sporting associations such as Tennis Tasmania for a positive community outcome. This new facility will allow tournament organisers to have a central tournament venue, rather than the current model where up to seven different facilities are used for larger tournaments. 在Launceston耗资240万兴建的网球中心，已经接近完成，将如期在今年12/12号完工。 网球中心能和Launceston的室内运动区互通，它包括9座＂士壁丙烯酸涂料＂(Plexipave) 的硬地球场，和两座合成的红土球场。 这项计画的基金来源，有140万来自Tasmania州政府、50万来自澳洲联邦政府、40万来自 Launceston市议会，和11万来自澳洲网球的国家球场计画的退款。 这项设备改良的需求，在好几年前就获得认同，成为地方、州以及联邦政府..等各方机构 ，与运动界像Tennis Tasmania协会，为了社群的正向成长，合作成功的最佳范本。 这座新球场，将能让赛事主管，拥有举办与中央地区同等级的比赛，而不单单只是像以前 一样，改善几项设施，只为了举办更大一点的比赛。 最近都是这种硬性新闻，Sam也太热衷了吧....最近战绩走样， 大概有考虑以後想朝政界发展。Orz --
