RODDICK TO PLAY HENMAN IN GREENBRIER SHOWCASE
Former tennis star Andy Roddick is set to appear at the Greenbrier Tennis Showcase in June.
The former US Open star is to replace Pete Sampras in the exhibition match against British star Tim Henman. Sampras would not be appearing at the event as he is reportedly injured – an injury that would stop him from his preparations.
“Unfortunately, due to an injury, I will not be able to properly prepare for the upcoming Greenbrier Tennis Showcase in June and will have to withdraw. I want to thank Andy for stepping up in my absence. I am sure that Andy and Tim will put on a competitive and entertaining match for fans,” a statement from Sampras reads.
Roddick confirmed that he would participate at the event in Sampras’ place.
“I’m thrilled to be coming back to The Greenbrier. I’ve enjoyed every trip I’ve made to the beautiful resort, and I look forward to another challenging match againsta fantastic opponent in Tim Henman,” he said. Read more »
