[S.S.] Sam is a diamond ace
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.
好像又拿了一個莫名其妙的獎項....
新聞內容說，Sam沒在球場打球的時間，也馬不停蹄地，不停把網球運動推展到
她的粉絲、各大媒體、還有地方社區。這讓她獲得WTA鑽石級傑出人物的獎項。
Sammy說，＂獲獎很開心，積極地推廣網球，然後在全球各地，盡其所能地吸引
更多人參與網球運動，對選手來說，是非常重要的。＂
WTA執行長Stacey Allaster，在Sam確定進入Doha準決賽時，頒獎給她。
她說，＂Sam不只是世界最好的運動員之一，她常找機會給予女子網壇支持，
而且將這股風氣帶給媒體界和贊助商們。也因為她如此積極，WTA才擁有為數
眾多的支持者。＂
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.
接著這段，就是重複之前Sam支持澳洲網球場設備翻新的新聞。
