Andy Completes 2003 Exhibition Season

With his participation in the inaugural Brian Vahaly charity weekend, and Swingtime, the annual charity benefiting the Tim and Tom Gullickson Foundation, Andy’s 2003 official appearance calendar is closed. The events, held in Atlanta, Georgia, and West Palm Beach, Florida capped off a two-week whirlwind tour that stopped in six states. Most importantly, Andy’s participation in these various tennis exhibitions, along with several key donations for both live and silent auctions, helped raise several million dollars for worthy causes all over the United States. This, of course, was highlighted by Andy’s Third annual charity weekend held November 22nd and 23rd, which raised over $300,000 for the Andy Roddick Foundaiton.

For the remainder of the year, Andy will be splitting time between Austin, Texas, and Boca Raton, Florida. While in Austin, Andy will continue to furnish his newly acquired home, while working hard on his strength and conditioning to prepare for the rigors of another year on the ATP Tour. Just prior to Christmas, Andy, along with older brothers, John and Lawrence, will travel together to South Florida to spend the holidays with their family. After the year Andy has had, there should be much to celebrate in the Roddick household this holiday season. At that time, Andy will have one intense week of training with coach, Brad Gilbert, before heading off to Doha where he will open his 2004 campaign at the Qatar Open.
