Andy Roddick may not be taking the new ATP emphasis on a shorter season to heart, with the American booked up with a few December exhibition matches around the US.
The player who seemed somewhat worn out and tired during his last losing group match at last week's World Tour Finals in London seems to have found a fresh burst of energy for the holiday paydays and charity events.
Roddick will waste no time in getting started, playing for friend Justin Gimelstob at a New Jersey event that also includes Mike and Bob Bryan, Lindsay Davenport, and Mary Joe Fernandez. He will then fly to his birthplace of Nebraska for a hit-and-giggle with 80-year-old billionaire Warren Buffett.
The "Rock and Racquets" will include a doubles match as Roddick teams with Pete Sampras against the Bryans. To fulfill the music part of the evening, the Bryans will play a few tuns with their band.
Buffett is apparently keen to rub shoulders with the tennis world, if only briefly. "I haven't played tennis in 20 years, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play with Andy and Pete," said the homespun billionaire.

OK, but the exo's are ALL for charity. It is mostly hit and giggle tennis. There are no back to back matches like at tournaments; so he has time to recover. Not that much different from practice. Your implication is not fair.
