Tamarack Resort’s Rock-n-Racquets

October 13, 2005

Get Ready to Rock! Belarusian teenager Viktoria Azarenka, the world’s No. 1 ranked Junior (International Tennis Federation/ITF), will join Andre Agassi (Eight Grand Slam Titles) and Steffi Graf (22 Gand Slam Titles) when they team up on-court for the first-time ever. Don’t miss Tamarack Resort’s Rock-n-Racquets at Taco Bell Arena on Saturday, December 3rd, 2005 at 7:00 pm.

Agassi and Graf will be joined by top American star James Blake and the world’s No. 1 doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan. The lineup brings together an unprecedented 34 Grand Slam titles on one court!

Only 16 years old, Azarenka has drawn glowing reviews from the tennis world for several years already, having been targeted as a shining prospect while still quite young. Now 5’10”, she has amassed blistering marks in both singles and doubles this year, with a current singles record of 29-2, and a doubles record of 21-1. Among the top players that were formerly No. 1 ranked juniors are Martina Hingis, Gabriela Sabatini, Andy Roddick and Roger Federer.

Rock-n-Racquets features the world’s most exciting tennis players with a musical component woven throughout the evening’s line-up. The synergy of athleticism and music capitalizes on the growing trend towards providing fans with the ultimate sports/entertainment experience. Rock-n-Racquets has been designed as an annual fundraising tennis exhibition and benefits the Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation.

The format for the evening consists of three components*: Doubles: Andre Agassi teams up with James Blake for the first time to challenge 2005 US Open Champions, Bob and Mike Bryan in a spirited doubles match.

Mixed Doubles (A Rock-n-Racquets exclusive): Agassi will team up with his wife Steffi Graf to compete in a mixed doubles match. Agassi and Graf’s opponents will be announced at a later date but will include participation by Blake and the Bryans.

Singles: Agassi and Blake will rekindle the fire of their 2005 US Open quarterfinal five-set thriller, now immortalized as one of the best matches in US Open history.

Rock-n-Racquets successfully debuted in 2002 in Miami, FL and was followed by great exhibitions in Little Rock, AR and Mobile, AL. It is brought to Boise thanks to Tamarack Resort, who has committed to be the event’s title sponsor. Other sponsors whose commitments have made this event possible include Micron and Boise Co-Op.
