The ITF has announced the draws for the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas World Group first round and Zone Group ties taking place on 6-8 March. A total of 33 ties are being held this weekend.
It is always a tricky obstacle course – for those of us who toil over the draw brackets and write the previews working out who meets which seed where, there is always that small moment of doubt – who will fall by the wayside, and thus ruin our painstaking planning!
2014 has been a great year for men's professional tennis. It's been a great year for all the SUPERSTARS of ladies tennis. It's been hard on the FAN. The ticket prices are too high. The old tourney directors and promoters never factored in players pay checks from ticket holders seat prices. Nope. That's what the sponsors were for.

World No. 1 Novak Djokovic and No. 8 Milos Raonic have been preparing for the 2015 ATP World Tour season at the annual ATP Training Camp in Monte-Carlo. Held every December since the 1990s, the ATP Training Camp gives players the chance to practise in the mild Monaco weather on the newly resurfaced hard courts of the Monte-Carlo Country Club...
There was no doubting that Roger Federer had the Midas touch when it came to the buzz for the IPTL as it touched down in India. From the moment he took the court the crowd were unstoppable as he took to the court in the mixed doubles, singles and men’s doubles and shone in all of them.
The word around the tennis world is that Roger Federer is being paid a cool $4 million for the briefest of stays in New Delhi to play for the Micromax Indians Aces in the ongoing International Premier Tennis League.
Andre was in the wrong league. He was @ the wrong place @ the wrong time . When he heard exhibition team tennis he thought - oh a hit and giggle ? So he got ready in the backyard or local courts with Stephanie aka the former Steffi Graf and the current Mrs. Agassi.
If you're suffering from boredom almost two weeks into tennis' offseason, give the International Premier Tennis League a try. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. The IPTL is a two-week event that began last Friday and features four teams based in the Philippines, Singapore, India and the United Arab Emirates.
The battle to be the leading Australian player by the time the Australian Open begins is heating up with just seven ranking places separating Lleyton Hewitt, Nick Kyrgios and the resurgent Bernard Tomic who slipped way outside the world’s top 100 after Wimbledon but is now back up to 56th position.
Andy Roddick had yet to even embark on his professional tennis career in 1997, the year that John McEnroe and Bjorn Borg faced off at the Royal Albert Hall, their first meeting in London since the 1981 Wimbledon final.
With her Indian Aces team in the lead by two points after the first weekend of play at the International Premier Tennis League in Manila, Sania Mirza could not be happier with her doubles contribution to the new squad.
The News Has been broken by Bob Larson news service that Jo - Willie Tsonga is being paid 500 thousand dollars to play in the inaugural IPTL. If Jo is making $$$$$. What's Roger Federer getting ? $$$$$$$$$$$ ? Or Maria Sharapova ? Or Andy Murray ? We will know in time.
The watching crowds have been willing the tournament to catch light, and for the briefest of moments, the clouds that have settled on the East of London this week lifted momentarily to bring a three-set semi-final that had promise.
Are you not entertained?
The first semifinal of the 2014 World Tour Finals will not exactly go down as an instant classic nor was more than one set competitive, but it at least went the distance--a rare occurrence this week in London.
