Bangalore Suspended Due to Security Fears

The ATP Board can confirm that it has today, regrettably, accepted a petition from the Bangalore Open to suspend the 2008 event due to the local promoter’s security concerns. The total event prize money of $400,000 will now be paid into the ATP player pension fund.

Frenchman Richard Gasquet captured the 2007 Kingfisher Airlines Tennis Open title after defeating Olivier Rochus of Belgium 6-3, 6-4 when the event was held in Mumbai. In May this year, the KSLTA Signature Kingfisher Tennis Stadium at Cubbon Park in Bangalore was announced at the venue in 2008.

Dat veiligheidsverhaal schijnt onzin te zijn, in werkelijkheid hebben ze gewoon een gebrek aan sponsors.
