※ 引述《leetaka (LeeTaka)》之銘言：
: 1913年成立的ITF明年將屆滿100周年，
: 日前ITF宣布發起「世界網球日」(World Tennis Day)活動，
: 在2013年3月4日當天，將至少有十國以表演賽等方式響應。
: 亞洲國家目前有香港與印度參與，
: 而香港今(21)日宣布規劃，將在亞洲國際博覽館(AisaWorld-Arena)舉行表演賽，
: 名稱與在紐約麥迪遜花園廣場舉行的表演賽同為BNP Paribas Showdown。
: 現役選手由李娜出戰Wozniacki，另外還有退役球員Lendl與McEnroe的對決。
: Hong Kong joins World Tennis Day
: The ITF has announced that Hong Kong will stage an event to celebrate World
: Tennis Day on March 4 next year.
: The BNP Paribas Showdown, which will feature an exhibition match between Li
: Na and Caroline Wozniacki, joins its namesake at New York’s Madison Square
: Garden as one of the highlights of a new initiative to promote tennis around
: the world.
: The event at the AsiaWorld-Arena will also see two legends of the men’s game
: renewing their rivalry when eight-time Grand Slam champion Ivan Lendl takes
: on seven-time major winner John McEnroe.
: “For me it is always exciting to play in Asia,” said Li. “I hope to have
: the crowd support in this match. It will be a great night for tennis, and
: hopefully it gets more people playing the game.”
: Her opponent was equally enthusiastic about spreading the message about her
: sport: “It’s great to have the chance to play in Hong Kong again,” said
: Wozniacki. “It’s also exciting to be part of the first World Tennis Day. I
: hope it’s successful in getting more kids playing around the world.”
: One of the ideas behind World Tennis Day is to promote Tennis10s, which
: tailors the game to younger players with smaller racquets, lighter balls and
: modified scoring.
: “World Tennis Day and the BNP Paribas Showdown will bring more attention to
: Tennis Play and Stay and Tennis10s, two programmes with proven success in
: growing participation,” said ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti.
: “World Tennis Day will give the ITF and our member nations an opportunity to
: showcase their efforts to grow tennis, while fans can also enjoy some of the
: game’s brightest stars playing in events like the BNP Paribas Showdown.”
: The BNP Paribas Showdown will be produced by StarGames, in conjunction with
: the Hong Kong Tennis Association. It marks the first time the AsiaWorld-Arena
: has played host to such an international tennis event.
: “Once more, BNP Paribas is proud to bring the best of tennis to Asia by
: supporting this outstanding sporting event, as it does with the same
: acclaimed tennis event in New York. We are excited to share our passion and
: enthusiasm for tennis with the fans in Hong Kong” said Paul Yang, Chief
: Executive Officer for BNP Paribas Hong Kong.
: “The BNP Paribas Showdown gives the bank a perfect opportunity to accelerate
: the growing awareness of our brand in Asia and it reaffirms our commitment
: and loyalty to this region and to this sport.”
: The matches will take place the same night as an event with the same name is
: held at Madison Square Garden in New York City as part of the first annual
: World Tennis Day. Serena Williams will play Victoria Azarenka in the first
: match in New York, followed by Rafael Nadal against Juan Martin del Potro.
: “With five successful years of the BNP Paribas Showdown in New York, the
: time is right to expand this to a global event with the World Tennis Day
: platform,” said Jerry Solomon, executive producer and president of StarGames.
: “The popularity of tennis in Asia made it natural for us to pursue an event
: in this region. Hong Kong is proving to be a fantastic partner, and BNP
: Paribas, as the world’s biggest sponsor of tennis, is the perfect title
: sponsor.
: “I am excited to see this group of four players who will put on a great
: show. Lendl, McEnroe and Wozniacki have each played for us at the BNP Paribas
: Showdown in New York in front of crowds of over 17,000 at Madison Square
: Garden and we now welcome Li Na to the group for the first time. The
: AsiaWorld-Arena will be the place to be on March 4.”
: Tickets for the event will go on sale on Monday, November 26, at 10am (2am
: GMT) at HK Ticketing Outlets which are located at AsiaWorld-Expo, all Tom Lee
: Stores, HKCEC, HKAPA and Fringe Club. Tickets may also be purchased online at
: www.hkticketing.com or by calling the HK Ticketing Ticket Purchase Hotline on
: 31 288 288 from 10am-8pm.
