Back to reality after the Olympics
For two weeks we had non-stop, high energy, crowd pleasing sport on television. Much to the disagreement of some purists, tennis was one of those sports we followed during the Olympic games. While the event is opened to professionals, many of the top players declined to participate, but that did not stop #3 Venus Williams or #5 Monica Seles from winning medals for the US team. Now that the Olympics are over, the players will prepare for the indoor season and attempt to gain the last places in the season-ending Chase Championships. It is non-stop tennis action throughout all parts of the globe.

Davis Cup crowd control needed
Crowd control has become a big issue in the Davis Cup competition, particularly recently in some South American countries. In one of the worst issues of unruly crowd behaviour in the Cup, unruly Chilian spectators forced the Argentine team to withdraw from their Davis Cup qualifying match. The crowd, angered by line calls against their player threw fruit, coins, bottles and plastic chairs onto the court. Argentine player Mariano Zabeleta's father suffered a head injury which required 10 stitches. In response the International Tennis Federation has kicked both Argentina and Chile out of this year's Davis Cup competition. Tennis authorities need to take stronger measures to enforce crowd control in heated situations. This kind of outcome is unacceptable in our gentlemanly sport of tennis.
