The opportunity to meet former president Nelson Mandela was the main reason why the sisters, who have virtually dominated women's tennis the past few years, agreed to visit South Africa from December 6 to 12. They will play exhibition matches against one another in Johannesburg and Cape Town. The Johannesburg match will take place at the Standard Bank arena, but the Cape venue has not yet been finalised. The sisters will also visit a private game reserve during their stay. A portion of the profits from the matches will be donated to Aids prevention. The seed for their visit was planted when their mother, Oracene, visited South Africa last year and had talks at government level about the visit of her daughters. Venus and Serena are seen as role models in the black community and the two have long been considered the ideal players to give tennis a boost among the black population. Kevin Curren, one of the organisers of the exhibition matches, said they would also host coaching clinics in black areas, while the clubhouse of the Arthur Ashe tennis stadium in Soweto would be officially opened during their stay. He said: "It's wonderful for South African tennis that two players of their stature have agreed to visit and it will definitely breathe new life into tennis, not just among black players, but anyone who loves tennis." -- 听见 冬天 的离开 我在某年某月醒过来 我想 我等 我期待 未来却不能因此安排 阴天 傍晚 车窗外 未来有一个人在等待 向左 向右 向前看 爱要拐几个弯才来 ● 我遇见谁 会有怎样的对白 我等的人 他在多远的未来 ● ﹀■\ 我听见风 来自地铁和人海 我排着队 拿着爱的号码牌 ▲＝ ▄▄ /< 我往前飞 飞过一片时间海 我们也曾 在爱情里受伤害 ╯\ ▄▄ █ 我看着路 梦的入口有点窄 我遇见你 是最美丽的意外 ▌ --
