The company acquired the 175 acre Macau Orient Golf Course in September 2007. “Now we are redefining what destination golf can be right here in Macau with Caesars Golf. We look forward to working closely with the Macau government to help continue grow and diversify its tourism sector,” Gary W. Loveman added.

The company also announced that the club will be home to the ‘Macau Golf Association Junior Golf Programme at Caesars Golf Macau’. This program will provide opportunities for children to experience golf, and at the same time helping to identify, develop talented young Macanese players.

The Venetian Macau Tennis Showdown 2008 澳門威尼斯人網球爭霸戰2008 (澳门威尼斯人网球争霸战2008)

Video


Some of the World best tennis players including the Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe, Roger Federer and James Blake, match-up at the Venetian Macau Tennis Showdown 2008 at Cotai Strip® Cotai Arena on November 20.

The 52 years old Bjorn Borg, played some impressive passing shots against the 49 year old John McEnroe, winning their one set clash 7-6.

World number two Roger Federer beated World number ten James Blake in the exhibition match scoring a 6-4, 6-4 win. He also beat Blake in a one set clash in Kuala Lumpur earlier this week. Federer is now heading into the winter break before he heads into the 2009 season. Federer said he will cut his exhibitions matches and focus on Slams in 2009.

Federer then teamed up with Borg to play against McEnroe and Blake, Federer and Borg took a 10:7 against McEnroe and Blake in this final match.

橫跨不同年代的４位男網冠軍費德勒, 布萊克, 麥肯羅及博格在澳門威尼斯人金光綜藝館舉行的網球盟主第2站賽事, 同場上演３幕角逐。 近一萬二千個座位幾乎全場爆滿。 費達拿今次已經是第2次到澳門進行表演賽, 仍吸引過萬名球迷入場。 4名巨星昨晚合演三場表演賽。

去年桑普拉斯和費德勒在亞洲的連場激戰引起了巨大的效應, 今年主辦方原本請來了納達爾和費德勒在吉隆坡和澳門進行表演賽, 但由於納達爾因傷缺席, 主辦方隻能臨時叫布雷克前來。

第一場比賽由52歲的博格對陣49歲的麥肯羅, 兩人在前12局各自的發球局裡都沒有讓對手取得破發, 在比賽進入打到決勝盤的搶7, 博格率先破掉發球分一路取得5-0的大比分領先, 麥肯羅最終以2-7落敗。 博格在今次表演賽以７：６戰勝麥肯羅。

第二場比賽由瑞士球王費德勒對陣布雷克, 費德勒狀態不錯, 他在第3局率先破掉布雷克的發球局。 但隨后的幾局各自保住發球局。 費德勒與比歷克合演一場高水平的比賽, 最終由費達拿以6:4及6:4擊敗比歷克, 憑借出色發揮２：０擊敗布萊克。 這是費德勒繼本周早些時候在吉隆坡之后, 一周內第二次戰勝比歷克。

最後1場雙打賽事, 麥肯羅與布萊克則以１０：７勝費德勒與博格。

費達拿經理人公司宣佈, 費達拿明年肯定不會第3度訪澳門, 但這項網球爭霸戰仍會選址在威尼斯人。 明年將會有新面孔, 世界頭1、2位的球手是考慮之列。 希望每年都為球迷帶來特別的場面。 澳門表演賽是費達拿今年最後一個表演賽。 明年一月與西班牙「一哥」拿度、梅利、迪維丹高及巴拉克在中東表演後, 他將會減少表演賽數量。

4位球壇巨星將於今日啟程前往泰國進行第3站的表演賽。

Keisuke Kunimoto, won with a time of 41:01.864, took the victory this year in the Windsor Arch Formula 3 Macau Grand Prix. He dominated the race from start to finish and become the only the second Japanese driver to win the Macau Grand Prix. This is also the second title in succession for the Tom's Toyota team.

Keisuke Kunimoto made a very good start from second place on the grid. He is able to jump pole sitter Mortara. Unfortunately Mortara had locked up under braking at the Lisboa bend on lap 4, and hit the wall in the hill section which cause slightly damaged of his car at lap 10. At the end, Mortara eventually finished 1.7 seconds behind Keisuke Kunimoto.

Brendon Hartley finished third, having picked his way through the field from 20th. He was benefited from a number of incidents in the race that moved him up the field.

"This is the first time for me in Macau and I can't believe this result. I think my team is the best in all of the world and that's why I can get the centre of the podium." said Keisuke Kunimoto.

第55屆澳門格蘭披治大賽在壓軸的三級方程式賽車由日本籍車手國本京佑奪得冠軍。

排第2位出賽的國本京佑, 起跑較杆位發車的莫他拿(Edoardo Mortara)出色, 國本京佑在第1圈葡京彎前超越選拔賽首名意大利車手莫他拿之後一直領先, 雖然比賽曾2度出動安全車, 但無阻國本京佑領先位置, 結果他以1.71秒之微力壓排頭位出賽的莫他拿奪得冠軍。 國本京佑效力的TOM’S車隊, 更連續兩年在澳門格蘭披治大賽車三級方程式賽獲勝。 莫他拿奪得亞軍, 但是他在第四圈於葡京彎制動時鎖死了輪胎, 讓金保斯-侯爾(Daniel Campos-Hull)和阿古雅舒亞利(Jamie Alguersuari)得以超前。 莫他拿在第十圈重開再次出錯, 他在山上的路段撞牆, 戰車輕微損毀。 雖然莫他拿再次追上國本京佑, 卻未能再進一步威脅對手最後屈居亞軍。 新西蘭車手赫利因為場上的連串事故而得益, 奪得第3名。
