Brisbane International launch Brisbane,20 October 2010 The official launch of Brisbane International 2011 today unveiled an exciting array of new on-site developments and reaffirmed the popularity of the tournament with some of the world's best players returning in 2011. “With eight returning players already named for the January event the Brisbane International is shaping up to be one of the players' favourite events on the ATP and WTA tour,“ Brisbane International Tournament Director Steve Ayles said during the launch at the Queensland Tennis Centre. “Samantha Stosur, Andy Roddick, Robin Soderling, Marcos Baghdatis, Mardy Fish, Richard Gasquet, Nadia Petrova and Daniela Hantuchova are headlining the event with more star signings to follow soon. “All of these players have previously played at the Brisbane International and it is a huge endorsement for the event and the city that they return year after year.” 2011年的Brisbane International，今天揭露了它设备翻新後的面貌，并确保明年 有一些顶尖选手会来此地较量。 Brisbane网赛的指导人Steve Ayles，在昆士兰网球中心的开幕典礼上表示， ＂有八名去年参赛的球员，会出现在明年１月份的名单上，Brisbane网赛已逐渐变 成在男子和女子网坛，最受喜爱的赛事之一。＂ ＂已确定的主要名单有Samantha Stosur, Andy Roddick, Robin Soderling, Marcos Baghdatis, Mardy Fish, Richard Gasquet, Nadia Petrova和Daniela Hantuchova， 还有一些球星正陆续地加入当中。＂ ＂这些球员之前都曾来此地参赛，无论对赛事或主办城市来说，他们年复一年的参赛， 就是认同此地的最佳证明。＂ “I'm definitely looking forward to Brisbane,” Australia's No.1 player Samantha Stosur said. “I played [at the Brisbane international] the first year when it was in Brisbane and I had a great time,” Stosur said. “ It has definitely built the reputation of one of the best events in the world and has great facilities so I am really looking forward to coming back. ” “It will be a different kind of scenario from last time I played there. It will be lots of fun, maybe I will sneak in a good seeding and hopefully give the crowd something good to watch. If I could make it all the way through to the last day that would be great.” 澳洲头号女单Sam Stosur表示， ＂我非常期待来Brisbane打球，在我第一次来这里时，就对此地留下好印象，它绝对能 称的上是世界最好的赛事之一，而且有这麽棒的设备，我当然乐意再回到此地。＂ ＂不过跟我上次参赛比起来，一定会有不一样的感受，事情可能变得更有趣，或许我能 占得更好的种子序(是在暗示什麽？)，希望呈现好比赛给观众看，如果我可以留到决赛 ，那是再好不过了。＂ Last year' s Brisbane International men's champion, Andy Roddick, agrees. “I really enjoyed my time in Brisbane,” Roddick said. “I enjoyed the tournament and I feel it is the best preparation for me for the Australian Open. “They have a great stadium in place, I think they were sold out at most of the sessions last year, they do a great job and treat the players really well. “Everything from the hotel to the facilities to the people working at the tournament, everything was very enjoyable. My wife enjoyed the city, which is always a big part of the decision-making process.” Adding to the tournament appeal in 2011 is the introduction of electronic line-calling system Hawk-Eye at Pat Rafter Arena and a further 250 seats for Show Courts 1 and 2. “Hawk-Eye will bring fans closer to the action with spectators able to watch, alongside their tennis heroes, whether a ball is ‘in' or ‘out' during play, while the expanded Show Court stands will allow more tennis fans to experience world-class tennis from a great vantage point,” Ayles continued. 去年此站男单冠军－Andy Roddick也同意，他说， ＂我非常享受在这里比赛，同时也能让我为澳网参赛热身，他们有很棒的表演场地， 我想这点成功吸引更多人来参加网球课程，他们做的很好，也对球员照顾有加。＂ ＂从旅馆到球场设施，工作人员都非常勤奋，营造出让人愉快的气氛。我太太很喜欢 这个城市，所以来这里，总是我计划行程的重要部分。＂ 2011年增建的设施有，在Pat Rafter球场的鹰眼设备，并增加了250个座位给1、2号球场。 Ayles补充说，＂鹰眼设施与选手比邻，建在观众视线轻易可及之处，判断比赛进行中， 球是否出界。球场座位的增加，将容许更多球迷体验世界级网球的优势。(.....)＂ In 2011 crowds at the Brisbane International will also be entertained by live music throughout the tournament, with the leading ladies of WICKED (the musical), Lucy Durack and Jemma Rix, to sing the national anthem prior to the Men's Final at Pat Rafter Arena. The ever popular kidzone is back in 2011 with a jumping castle, speed serve, dive and volley, a rock climbing wall, mini tennis courts, face painting, interactive games and talent search demonstrations. MLC Tennis Hot Shots demonstrations will again be a feature, with tennis stars of the future appearing on the Show Courts prior to the commencement of play.
