Virgin Mobile USA Believes in Melanie Oudin

Partners With World Ranked Teen Tennis Sensation

Comprehensive Relationship Includes $1,000,000 Donation to Homeless Youth with U.S. Open Win

WARREN, N.J., March 9, 2010 — Virgin Mobile USA has announced its sponsorship of tennis pro Melanie Oudin as she continues on her quest to become tennis royalty, trying to capture a WTA Championship at the 2010 BNP Paribas Open today in Indian Wells, California.

In celebration of the new sponsorship, Virgin Mobile USA is committing to donate — if Oudin wins this year’s U.S. Open in September — one million dollars to homeless youth organizations as part of The RE*Generation program, the company’s initiative to raise awareness for the issue of homeless youth in the United States.

“The RE*Generation initiative was founded by Virgin Mobile to empower young people to help less fortunate peers resurrect their lives. We’ve made significant strides in raising awareness and direct involvement with the troubling issue of youth homelessness, and having an ambassador like Melanie Oudin committed to this cause is very powerful,” said Bob Stohrer, vice president of marketing for Sprint’s Virgin Mobile brand. “Melanie’s ‘Believe’ mantra transcends tennis and naturally extends to the work we’ll do together.”

Oudin stepped onto the professional tennis stage last year at the age of 17 and made her mark quickly with her strong performances at Wimbledon and the 2009 U.S. Open. At the U.S. Open, she defeated Maria Sharapova, Elena Dementieva and Nadia Petrova to become the youngest American Grand Slam quarterfinalist since Serena Williams won the 1999 Open. Melanie has adopted “Believe” as her mantra and has stamped the word on the tennis shoes she wears during every match.

“I am thrilled to partner with Virgin Mobile USA. They have made great strides in their efforts to help disadvantaged youth, and the company brings excitement and creativity to everything it does,” said Oudin. “I am looking forward to a great partnership.”

Virgin Mobile USA will also provide fans with the chance to watch Melanie compete at this year’s U.S. Open through their FREE I.P. program, which offers free tickets to concerts and events in exchange for volunteering time at not-for-profit homeless youth organizations. The FREE I.P. program, introduced last year, has already produced more than 30,000 hours of volunteer work and more than 5,000 tickets to the Virgin Mobile Festival and Virgin Mobile Presents The Monster Ball Tour Starring Lady Gaga.

The RE*Generation is Virgin Mobile USA’s pro-social initiative to address the issue of youth homelessness and empower a generation to help its own. For the past four years, Virgin Mobile has been a consistent voice in raising awareness for the more than two million young people living on the streets, raising funds and promoting volunteerism. With innovative programs like FREE.I.P., Virgin Mobile USA has encouraged thousands to volunteer supplies and their time to local homeless youth organizations, rewarding them with access to exclusive events like Virgin Mobile Festival and the Monster Ball Tour featuring Lady Gaga. The National Alliance to End Homelessness will honor Virgin Mobile USA with the 2010 Private Sector Achievement Award at its annual Kennedy Center Awards Ceremony in April 2010 for its significant contributions in the struggle to end youth homelessness.

MEMPHIS, TENN. (March 1, 2010) – In recognition of Hoops for St. Jude, a season-long fundraising program benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, the National Basketball Association is celebrating Hoops for St. Jude Week. From March 1-7, league players, coaches and basketball fans will help raise awareness and funds for St. Jude, one of the world’s premier pediatric cancer research centers.

NBA players Pau Gasol, Rudy Gay, Danny Granger, Shane Battier, Steve Blake and Kevin Love teamed up in December for Hoops for St. Jude by pledging to donate to St. Jude for each point scored throughout the NBA season. Each player will donate a minimum season-end gift of $20,000. In addition, the Denver Nuggets Head Coach George Karl joined the team and donated $20,000 to St. Jude. After announcing his recent diagnosis of throat and neck cancer, Coach Karl is encouraging NBA fans to support him by joining the Hoops for St. Jude team.

“I am ready to fight this battle and beat cancer. One of the greatest things I can do as I battle this terrible disease is to help children who are facing the same struggles,” said Karl, who is also a prostate cancer survivor. “Joining Hoops for St. Jude was an easy decision for me months ago and now I’m even more proud of my dedication to St. Jude. Basketball fans should support this great cause because we never know when cancer will touch our lives and the lives of our loved ones.”

NBA fans can join their favorite NBA stars in support of St. Jude by visiting www.hoopsforstjude.org. They can bid on auction items and make a one-time or monthly donation. Fans also can pledge per point scored by any Hoops for St. Jude team member during the remaining 2009-2010 NBA season. With a donation of $20 or more, fans will receive a commemorative Hoops for St. Jude lapel pin.

Hoops for St. Jude Week highlights include:

St. Jude lapel pins during the week in support of Coach Karl.

help bring awareness of the program through special broadcast segments. TNT’s special

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., February 17, 2010 — The USTA and U.S. Davis Cup Captain Patrick McEnroe announced today that John Isner, Sam Querrey and the world’s top-ranked doubles team of Bob and Mike Bryan will represent the United States in the 2010 Davis Cup by BNP Paribas first round match against Serbia, March 5-7, on an indoor clay court at the Beogradska Arena in Belgrade, Serbia.

Isner will be making his Davis Cup debut and Querrey will make his second appearance on the U.S. Davis Cup team, having played in the 2008 semifinal versus Spain in Madrid. This is the first time since 2000 that neither Andy Roddick nor James Blake will be on the U.S. Davis Cup roster – a span of 25 Davis Cup ties.

“We are very excited about John and Sam joining the Bryans to lead our Davis Cup team,” said U.S. Davis Cup Captain Patrick McEnroe, who has led the U.S. to a 16-8 record since taking over the team in 2001 and is now second all-time for most wins by a U.S. Davis Cup Captain behind Tom Gorman (18).

“Both guys have really stepped up their games and are more than ready to take on the challenge of going on the road to face Serbia. We have had great commitment from our players in the past and expect the same from John and Sam in the years ahead.”

The United States and Serbia have never faced each other in Davis Cup competition. The U.S. reached the Davis Cup quarterfinals last year, defeating Switzerland in the first round, before losing at Croatia. The United States holds a 208-63 all-time Davis Cup record and the longest uninterrupted run in the World Group, dating back to 1989.

Serbia retained a place in the World Group after losing to eventual champion Spain in the first round last year by defeating Uzbekistan in the World Group Playoff last September. The country first began Davis Cup competition in 2007, formerly competing as Serbia & Montenegro (2004-2006), and before that Yugoslavia (1927-2003).Tennis Channel will provide daily coverage of the event.

The U.S. vs. Serbia winner will face either Ecuador or Croatia in the Davis Cup quarterfinals, July 9-11. If the United States beats Serbia, they will be guaranteed to host the July quarterfinal.The opening day of play in the best-of-five match series features each country’s No. 1 singles player against the No. 2 player from the opposing country. The pivotal doubles match is played Saturday, followed by Sunday’s “reverse singles,” starting with each country’s No. 1 player squaring off followed by the No. 2 players in the fifth and final match.

Isner, 24, will be making his Davis Cup debut and at 6-foot-9 becomes the tallest player in U.S. Davis Cup history. He will become the 136th person to represent the U.S. in the event, which began in 1900. Isner served as a Davis Cup practice partner twice in 2007. Isner is currently playing the best tennis of his young pro career, defeating Andy Roddick en route to the fourth round at the 2009 US Open, capturing his first ATP World Tour title in Auckland, New Zealand, in January, and then reaching the fourth round of the 2010 Australian Open to become the No. 2 ranked American in men’s tennis. He turned professional after an outstanding four-year career at the University of Georgia, leading the Bulldogs to the 2007 NCAA team title as a senior. He was runner-up at the 2007 NCAA singles championships and won the 2005 NCAA doubles title a year after reaching the finals as a freshman.

Querrey, 22, is making his second appearance on the U.S. Davis Cup having played in the 2008 semifinal versus eventual Davis Cup champion Spain and was a member of the 2008 U.S. Olympic tennis team. Querrey is 0-2 in Davis Cup and made his debut against then World No. 1 Rafael Nadal on clay in Madrid, losing in four sets. Querrey had a breakout season last year with a personal-best 41-23 singles record. He rose to a career-high No. 22 in the world and won the Olympus US Open Series last summer. Querrey won his second singles title on the ATP World Tour at the L.A. Tennis Open in July (one of five appearances in ATP World Tour singles finals last year). Last week, he won his first pro doubles title in San Jose, Calif., with Mardy Fish.

Bob Bryan, 31, half of the world’s top-ranked doubles team, holds a 16-2 record in Davis Cup doubles with twin brother, Mike, and is 4-2 in singles. The Bryans’ win at the 2009 Davis Cup first round versus Switzerland put them first all-time in U.S. Davis Cup history with 15 doubles wins as a team. They are also the only brothers to pair in victory for the U.S. Davis Cup team. The Bryans won the 2010 Australian Open doubles title – their 57th tour-level doubles titles together, making them the most successful sibling doubles team in the Open Era. Bob also owns six major mixed doubles titles, including the 2009 French Open title with Liezel Huber.

Mike Bryan, 31, has played every doubles match for the U.S. Davis Cup team since he and his twin brother, Bob, joined the team in September 2003. Mike holds a 17-2 record in doubles, one more win than his brother, after partnering with Mardy Fish in the 2008 semifinal against Spain – the only time either brother played doubles in Davis Cup without his sibling. The Bryan brothers currently share the No. 1 doubles ranking and finished four of the past five years as the top-ranked doubles team in the world. They won their eighth career major doubles title at the 2010 Australian Open. Mike has 59 career ATP doubles titles and won the 2002 US Open and 2003 French Open mixed doubles titles with Lisa Raymond.

Founded in 1900, the Davis Cup is the world’s largest annual international men’s team competition with 125 nations competing this year. The U.S. leads all nations with 32 Davis Cup titles.
