10sBalls Editors Note: Sponsored By BETWAY. We don’t get it. We really don’t. Gambling would be great in tennis. Most successful sports allow it. Tennis does not allow betting yet they can be sponsored by a betting house really… Tennis is so dysfunctional…. Back in the day Wimbledon and The Auzzie Open had betting tents on the events site. Yes boothland had a betting area. So much fun. So much income for the events so they could lower ticket prices.
We are tired of holding back. More direct input coming.
The Fed Cup format needs to change. Speak to Judy Murray. Speak to Mary Joe.
Please find below the final results for the 2016 Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group semifinals, and World Group and World Group II play-offs taking place on 16-17 April.
