Williams confirmed for ‘Tennis Pon de Rock’
10/16/2011
By Alan Harris
MORE tennis, cheaper tickets and a star-studded line-up.
That’s what in store for Barbados when the 2011 edition of ‘Tennis Pon de
Rock’ serves off at the exclusive Sugar Hill Tennis Resort and Wildey
Gymnasium in a couple of weeks’ times.
Following the success of the 2009 exhibition, which featured current world
No.1 Caroline Wozniacki, two of the of the world’s most dominant female
stars - former world No.1 Venus Williams and current world No.3 Victoria
Azarenka - have been confirmed for the December 10th and 11th event.
Joining them will be flamboyant Frenchman and world No.7 Gael Monfils, along
with hard-hitting American and world No.18 John Isner.
“It will be four times the amount of action with twice the amount of players,
” said Kodi Lewis, director of the non-profit Barbados Invitational Tennis
Exhibition (B.I.T.E), organisers of the two-day extravaganza.
He was speaking yesterday during the official launch at the Sugar Hill Resort.
"This year we wanted to increase the appeal of the event which is being built
into one of the most exciting sporting events on the national calendar.
B.I.T.E, in conjunction with the Barbados Tennis Association, also remains
committed to ensuring the development of Barbados’ children through sports,
especially tennis. It is our goal to open the doors of opportunity for all
children and what better way to do so, than through the sport we love, tennis.
”
In a change to the format and much in keeping with major international
tournaments, this year’s ‘Tennis Pon de Rock’ will get underway on Friday,
December 9th with an exclusive Player’s Party at the Limegrove Lifestyle
Centre.
On Saturday, December 10th, the grass-courts of the Sugar Hill Tennis Resort
will play host to a doubles and mixed-doubles exhibition, which will be
immediately followed by a premium cocktail party hosted by the four
international players.
Before the exhibition starts at 2p.m. in Porters, St. James, the quartet will
be involved in a Fantasy Camp for junior players at the National Tennis
Center in Wildey.
On Sunday, December 11th, action moves to the Sir Garfield Sobers Sports
Complex with two singles matches, both consisting of two sets and a ten point
tie-breaker if necessary.
Also new this year will be a family-oriented Tennis Village with numerous
stalls and games, including mini-tennis and road tennis.
The Tennis Village will open at 1p.m., two hours before the scheduled start
of play, and will remain open after the matches are complete.
Price of tickets range from as little as $75 right up to $250 for VIP
court-side(inclusive of premium bar), while $450 will get you in to the event
at the Sugar Hill Tennis Resort.
In related news, a big taking point has been the recent international reports
surrounding the ill-health of Venus Williams, older sister of 13-time Grand
Slam champion Serena Williams, who, coincidentally, was a part of the
inaugural ‘Tennis Pon de Rock’ series in 2009.
Venus, a seven-time Grand Slam champion, had to withdraw from this year’s US
Open after being diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome, an autoimmune disease.
“I have spoken to Venus herself, I have spoken to her manger and I have had
discussions with her doctors to get her full prescription for her specific
autoimmune disease. In a short answer, yes, she will be fit,” Lewis said in
response to questions about Williams’ health.
"She is back on the court as we speak and she is very much looking forward to
coming as well.”
As for the other players in the line-up, 22 year-old Belarusian Victoria
Azarenka just recently achieved her career-high world ranking of No.3 on
September 12th. She is a committed player who has great court-coverage and
incredible finesse.
Besides his eccentric hairstyles, twenty-five year old Gael Monfils is best
known for his athleticism and never-say-die attitude, earning him the
nickname ‘Tennis Acrobat’.
Rounding out the four is twenty-six year old John Isner, a world record
holder.
His first round victory over Nicolas Mahut at Wimbledon in 2010 was the
longest professional tennis match ever played. Isner won the match 4-6, 6-3,
7-6(9-7), 6-7(7-3), 68-70. It lasted 11 hours and five minutes and was played
over the course of three days.
Besides online ticket outlet iTickets and select Cave Shepherd
locations(Sunset Crest, Broad Street and Rendezvous), box offices are yet to
be confirmed.
Tickets are expected to go on sale in the coming weeks.
