It was a tsunami charity exhibition.
Andy and Marat look so cute! I would love to see a video of it.
 
The only video I can find. It doesnt show the game that the piccies came from but its cute nonetheless. Agassi is funny, and its nice to see all the players getting involved.

Hopefully someone else will have the video!

There is a little synopsis of the event on andyroddick.com. It sounds hilarious.
Who next? Our very own Andy Roddick and one of the Tour and fan favorites, Marat Safin, arguably the best match of the event. Not only were the two playing at their best form but both were humorous and charismatic entertainers and it is a guarantee that you will laugh out loud at their antics.
Elena Dementieva, Daniela Hantuchova, Kim Clijsters, and Amelie Mauresmo served as sit-in ball girls. When Andy was up at serve first and asked for a ball, Elena tossed it over his head instead of customarily bouncing it towards the player, making Andy had to chase it down. The two continued to joke around during the service game including one point where Elena rolled balls to Kim and back instead of giving them to Andy.
Marat made things interesting, which is an understatement. He pledged to donate $100 to Tsunami relief for each ace he hit, but Andy doubled it when he hit his first ace. Marat then joked, “You know, I meant $100,000″ not $100. Oops Andy, better get out your checkbook!
Safin also celebrated an easy point by pumping his fist and dropping to the ground, kissing the court as he did when he upset Pete Sampras in the 2000 US Open final.
The normally reserved chair umpire, Lars Graf, who oversaw the Davis Cup tie in Carson last week, also played into the situation, asking players to be quiet as he called the lines.
Marat even refused to switch sides to receive serve saying, “I like this side better.”
Safin eventually won the breaker (the only result I will divulge) and proceeded to kiss Lars Graf and hug him in celebration.
Andy and Marat continued to play hosts when they teamed up for doubles competition against two amateur players. Andy asked the crowd if he should go for a big serve against two patrons who earned playing rights by being the highest donors to the charity event. Andy served hard, but received boos in response. Later, host Wayne Bryan asked Hantuchova and Dementieva to go and hold hands with Andy and Marat, respectively, hoping that the distraction would favor the other team. When a ball came near Andy and Daniela, who did not have her racquet, Andy would yell “Yours!” and hit the ball over. An exchange ensued between Andy and the other side as Marat waved his racquet in the air screaming “Hey, I am here, too!”
Of course, this was after Andy and Marat hiked up their shorts, tucked in their shirts, put their hats on crooked, and wore glasses, pretending to be clumsy and yes, “uncool.” What a change for two of the most popular players on Tour! Truly a great laugh.

Roxxy i dont think he has a g/f at the moment. All his interviews during the AO he said he was single. I think.

Hope not,cause she looks like a cheap sl*tty to me.He's too good for her.

lol, the good old blonde bench he had at the Oz Open a few years ago... He's always claimed that they (including her in the picture) were friends of friends. ^_^
