tennis superstars play in hua hin to aid flood victims
hua hin, THAILAND For the third year running Hua Hin will host the world’s top female tennis stars on New Year’s Day for an exhibition match, and this time the proceeds are being donated to help those affected by the catastrophic flooding that hit Thailand this year. World No.1 Caroline Wozniacki will return to Thailand to face third-ranked Victoria Azarenka in the charity match being held once again at the Inter Continental Hua Hin Resort’s Centennial Park, south of the town. Denmark’s Wozniacki, who won six titles this year, played Kim Clijsters at the Hua Hin event at the start of 2011. “I had a fantastic time in Thailand last year and it is a pleasure to be back again,” said Wozniacki who has claimed 18 WTA titles. “I have seen some of the pictures of the terrible floods and I am delighted to be a part of the World Tennis Charity Invitation and help raise money for the flood relief.” Belarus’ Azarenka, who has won eight titles including three this year, will make her first appearance in Thailand. “This will be my first visit to Thailand and I am very excited,” said Azarenka. “I am really pleased to go there and play for the Thai fans and help raise money to assist people who have been affected by the devastating floods.” The World Tennis Charity Invitation also features Thai legend Paradorn Srichaphan who will return to action against world No.18 John Isner, said Suwat Liptapanlop, president of the Lawn Tennis Association of Thailand. American Isner had the most successful season of his career this year with two titles. “I am very pleased to return to Thailand and visit Hua Hin for the first time. I’m looking forward to playing with Paradorn and doing our bit to help in the flood relief.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
