    Another blow for India's global sporting inclusion

    First the IPL, now Australia have pulled out of their Davis Cup World Group qualifier tie, that was to be held in Chennai.

    The ITF are probably breathing a sigh of relief, they were probably expecting the Aussies to defiantly refuse to go, and have the men in blazers have to take the decision to expel them from the competition or not. Now, the ITF can indignantly ban Australia from next year's competition, and hope the problem goes away for a bit (ie that India get drawn away in the next phase).

    It's a very sad state of affairs when people are genuinely worried for the safety of a visiting tennis team. I wonder whether any major sporting contest will take place in India (let alone Pakistan) for years to come.
