Sam Stosur’s tireless work off the court promoting tennis to fans, media, and local communities has won her the WTA’s Diamond ACES Award for 2010. “It’s a really nice feeling to receive this award as it is very important for players to give back to the sport and do everything we can to grow it and promote it globally,” said World No.7 Stosur. WTA CEO Stacey Allaster presented Stosur with the award in Doha where the Queenslander is through to the semifinals of the season-ending championships. “Sam is not only one of the world’s best athletes, she is extremely aware of the opportunity of giving back to women’s tennis and connecting the sport with media and sponsors. It is because of athletes like Sam that the WTA has so many fans around the world,” said Allaster. 好像又拿了一个莫名其妙的奖项.... 新闻内容说，Sam没在球场打球的时间，也马不停蹄地，不停把网球运动推展到 她的粉丝、各大媒体、还有地方社区。这让她获得WTA钻石级杰出人物的奖项。 Sammy说，＂获奖很开心，积极地推广网球，然後在全球各地，尽其所能地吸引 更多人参与网球运动，对选手来说，是非常重要的。＂ WTA执行长Stacey Allaster，在Sam确定进入Doha准决赛时，颁奖给她。 她说，＂Sam不只是世界最好的运动员之一，她常找机会给予女子网坛支持， 而且将这股风气带给媒体界和赞助商们。也因为她如此积极，WTA才拥有为数 众多的支持者。＂ Stosur is Tennis Australia’s Facilities Ambassador – a role that sees Stosur promoting the repairing and building of tennis courts around the country. “This is a terrific program that is helping tennis all over Australia and I’ d like to think I can help make a difference,” said Stosur. “If we can keep building new courts and fixing some of those that are in need of repair it will give kids more and more opportunities to play on quality surfaces.” Stosur will visit Launceston’s new $2.4 million regional tennis centre on Monday 31 January 2011. So far the courts and facilities program has approved 904 courts for upgrades and generated $148.5 million in funding for facilities in the past three years. 接着这段，就是重复之前Sam支持澳洲网球场设备翻新的新闻。 文章代码：#1CkS8Cd0 --
