OFF SEASON ACTIVITIES

BOB BRYAN
“We have a series of exhibitions planned. We’ll be traveling all over the country. Hopefully we’ll sneak in some days at home. We’ll go to Hawaii for a week right before the Australian Open. That will be our vacation. We’ll train, probably plan an exhibition, and we’ll take seven days of snorkeling, relaxing.”

MIKE BRYAN
“We’ll play a lot of games. Our new one we’ve been playing almost every day is Scrabble. We have it on our computers, wireless on our computers. We’re mastering the two-letter words and all the small ones. That’s the key.”

ANDY RODDICK
“It’s going to be a short off-season. I’ll play some exhibitions, just to stay sharp. And I try to get up to a University of Nebraska football game every year, so I’ll try to make time for that. [Indianapolis Colts head coach] Tony Dungy gave me his book. And I haven’t read James [Blake’s] yet. I might do that.”

GAEL MONFILS
“Spend more time with my girlfriend. For sure, I’m going to Guadalupe and Martinique. They’re my origin and my parents are from there.”

ARVANE REZAI
“I go to Iran to see my family and to practice a lot and to prepare for the Australian Open. I am born in France but my blood is Iranian because my both parents are from there. I think my culture actually is more Iranian than French.”

JELENA JANKOVIC
“I will have my books with me. It’s so many kilos. I have extra luggage always to pay for. Now I’m in the third year [at a Serbian university] and I have many exams to do.”

NICOLE VAIDISOVA
“I’ll start my off season with a nice holiday in one of the Caribbean islands. After that it’s off to South America for media tour to promote Reebok and tennis. While I’m there I’ll play an exhibition in Santiago [Chile] as well. I’ll also probably play in a few charity events throughout December. Besides that I’ll be training hard [with Stepanek?] in Bradenton, trying to get ready for the 2008 season.”
