Madrid organizers say they are looking at having blue clay courts in the future to better co-ordinate with the colors of their main sponsor. One of the tournament's outside courts will be set up with blue clay this year for dubious players to test out, tournament director Manolo Santana was quoted as saying by El Periodico de Catalunya. "Once the players see that it is exactly the same as red there will be no problem." The Ion Tiriac-owned Madrid event is known for its bold attempts to attract publicity, including the introduction of models as ball boys and ball girls when it was an indoor event in the fall.

Australia to boycott going to Chennai for Davis Cup tie

Australia will not go to Chennai for the Davis Cup tie against India next month, Tennis Australia announced today.

The decision follows the International Tennis Federation board’s rejection overnight of a Tennis Australia appeal to shift the tie out of India because of security concerns.

“We asked for the tie to be moved because we have major security concerns for the players, particularly during the election,” Tennis Australia president Geoff Pollard explained.

“The ITF decision has left us with no other option,” Mr Pollard said. “We cannot send the team. It is extremely disappointing.”

“It would be irresponsible of us to send our players into an area of such high risk. Davis Cup is very important to us but some things are more important than tennis,” he said.

Davis Cup captain John Fitzgerald said he was angry and upset with the ITF decision.

“It is just irresponsible. Surely some thought must be given to the players’ safety.

“I believe they say the election is not a cause for concern, the IPL moving is not relevant and that an ATP tournament held in January shows it is safe to play in Chennai.

“So what about the fact that dozens of people are being killed along the campaign trail of the election? A train was hijacked this week, but that does not alter their thoughts? Did the IPL move for no reason,” Fitzgerald asked.

“The ATP event involved no national teams and was held three months prior to the election. This decision makes no sense. We have worked so hard to get back in to World Group contention, to have it snatched away like this is gut wrenching,” he said.

Fitzgerald said the players shared his disappointment and still hoped for an ITF change of heart prior to May 8.

Fears Australia's boycott may end Lleyton Hewitt's Davis Cup career

Australia has boycotted next month's tie against India in Chennai for security concerns, which is likely to spell the end of Lleyton Hewitt's stellar Davis Cup career.

The International Tennis Federation (ITF) rejected Australia's request for a neutral venue for the May 8-10 tie and insisted it go ahead in Chennai - a decision Tennis Australia (TA) boss Geoff Pollard slammed as "irresponsible."

The stand-off may well mean that Hewitt never plays for his country again after winning more Davis Cup singles matches than any other Australian.

"It could easily happen. He will consider his response but this could spell the end of his Cup career which would be disappointing," his manager David Drysdale said.

Pollard said it was unreasonable to expect the Australian team to travel to India in the midst of elections which had created an unstable situation with several people killed.

He said the ITF and India had refused to meet the security requirements TA demanded for the team to travel to India.

Australia must now wait to see what penalty it will be given for pulling out of the match with sanctions ranging from fines to a one-year suspension.

The Davis Cup website specifies that if a country pulls out of a tie it will be suspended from the competition for the following year.

Davis Cup captain John Fitzgerald was furious with the ITF's stance.

"Surely some thought must be given to the players' safety," Fitzgerald said.

"I believe they say the election is not a cause for concern, the Indian Premier League moving (to South Africa) is not relevant and that an ATP tournament held in January shows it is safe to play in Chennai.

"So what about the fact that dozens of people are being killed along the campaign trail of the election?

"A train was hijacked this week, but that does not alter their thoughts? Did the IPL move for no reason?" Fitzgerald asked.

"The ATP event involved no international teams and was held three months prior to the election.
"This decision makes no sense. We have worked so hard to get back into the World Group contention, to have it snatched away like this is gut wrenching."

Pollard said there was no question of the team going under the circumstances.

"Let me say that it is disappointing but it would be irresponsible of us our team and our support staff to go to India during the election period," Pollard said.

"Australia is probably the greatest supporter of Davis Cup so it is difficult but the safety of our team is paramount.

"We gave the ITF and therefore the Indians a list of the security requirements that we had for our team to be there and they will not meet those security requirements."

Pollard said the demands for team security were "reasonably close to what you would give to a head of state and (we) feel that was appropriate in the circumstances."

"They were providing security but nothing like the level we asked for," he said.

Pollard said it would be unreasonable for the ITF to suspend Australia for 2010 or to demote the country to Zone Four.

"I would expect something a lot, lot less than that because it is an unacceptable risk," Pollard said.

"I don't think any sanction is appropriate because we have given them a lot of evidence that the risk is unacceptable - but that's up to them."

Pollard said the ITF had a report from one consulting company which told them the security concerns "could be dismissed."

Pollard said it would take "some time" before the sanction was known.

TA had called for a neutral venue for the tie but the ITF said on Friday they were satisfied with the security conditions in Chennai.

Fox Sports tennis commentator and former Davis Cup coach Wally Masur said the decision to pull out was carefully constructed by Tennis Australia.

“Tennis Australia went through a whole process of doing a security analysis when the tie was announced in Chennai, and based on a lot of the information they got and talking to the Australian government, they decided it would be wise to have the tie moved," Masur said on Fox Sports News.

“It wasn’t something done lightly by Tennis Australia."

Masur also commented on Australia's possible one-year suspension.

“My understanding is that if we are suspended until 2011, we actually will go down another tier. It would take us another three years to get back into the World Group.

ITF declares Australia forfeits Davis Cup tie and India is the victor

The ITF regrets and respectfully disagrees with the decision of Tennis Australia to default its upcoming Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Asia/Oceania Zone Group I third round tie against India, scheduled to be played in Chennai on 8-10 May.

By virtue of its decision not to send a team to compete against India, Australia has forfeited the tie. India is declared the winner and will advance to the Davis Cup World Group Play-offs, scheduled for 18-20 September. The draw for the Play-off Round will be held on 12 May at the ITF Offices in Roehampton.

The ITF, as it does for every Davis Cup and Fed Cup tie, asked the host nation to produce a comprehensive security plan for the tie. Tennis Australia received the completed security questionnaire from the All India Tennis Association; however, because of the specific concerns of Tennis Australia, the ITF also asked its independent security consultants, the Olive Group, to make a site visit to Chennai to investigate both the situation on the ground and to assess the security arrangements put in place by AITA.

Following the site visit, the Olive Group reported that it was satisfied that the tie could go ahead as planned. Tennis Australia received a copy of the Olive Group report. This, and other information related to the tie, was presented to the Davis Cup Committee, who voted that the tie should proceed in Chennai. Following an appeal by Tennis Australia, the ITF Board of Directors voted to uphold the decision of the Davis Cup Committee, after having received complete documentation for review.

The Davis Cup Committee in due course will decide any sanctions to be assessed against Australia according to the Regulations of the 2009 Competition

В Мадриде открыт теннисный комплекс, аналогичный «Уимблдону» и «Ролан Гаррос» Премьер-министр Испании Хосе Луис Родригес Сапатеро официально открыл в четверг новый теннисный комплекс «Magic Box», который станет местом проведения турнира серии Masters, стартующего 8 мая в Мадриде. Сапатеро заявил, что открытие этого комплекса является важным шагом по поддержке Мадрида в качестве кандидатуры на проведение Олипийских игр 2016 года. В комплекс, аналогичный британскому «Уимблдону» и французскому «Ролан Гаррос», входят: 3 главных корта, все с раздвижной крышей, 16 открытых кортов, 5 закрытых, 6 тренировочных, а также бассейн. Главная арена рассчитана на 12 500 зрителей, общая площадь расположенного к югу от Мадрида комплекса составляет 20 гектаров, строительство велось три года и обошлось в 150 000 000 евро, сообщает Eurosport.

Они там тоже собираются победителя в бассейн бросать?

Три корта с раздвижной крышей - это впечатляет

Ну, значит, Рафе не удастся отбодаться от этого турнира - придется туда ехать. Раз открыли с такой помпой новый комплекс, то уж присутствие на первом официальном турнире, да тем более Мастерсе, собственного Намбервана обязательно!!!

все это грандиозное строительство связано с личностью и, есссно, деньгами, Иона Тириака. мне уже приходилось о нем выкладывать инфу на основном форуме. он в таких делах товарисч основательный, чего только 3 (!) корта под крышей стоят. так вот, если вспомнить (а Santoro со sports.ru, похоже, помнит), то Тириак года два назад говорил, что он бы в принципе хотел переноса грунтового шлема в Мадрид и что он может все для этого обеспечить не хуже, чем в Париже. вот, обеспечил...

А зачем Рафе отбрыкиваться от Мадрида? Он вроде не устал особо, после Рима к тому же неделя отдыха будет, после Мадрида тоже, так что чего не сыграть-то?
А насчёт переноса ТБШ - не-не-не, не надо такого У каждого уже более, чем столетняя история, и одно дело когда внутри страны меняли место проведения, и совсем другое - переносить их в другую страну...

хотя ему и огромное спасибо, что такой теннисный рай устроил.
