Tennis at the Commonwealth Games
|
||||
Although tennis has long been on the list of approved optional Commonwealth Games sports, and has featured in every Commonwealth Youth Games programme, it made its maiden appearance in a full Commonwealth Games programme at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.[1] The tennis events were held from 4–10 October 2010, which clashed with the dates of the China Open, an ATP Tour and WTA Tour event. Despite initial concerns that governing bodies would fail to persuade their top players to compete in Delhi,[2] several top tennis players competed for their countries, including Mahesh Bhupathi (India), Peter Luczak (Australia), Sania Mirza (India), Jamie Murray (Scotland),[3] Leander Paes (India), and Anastasia Rodionova (Australia).
However, Lleyton Hewitt (Australia) did not compete for his country, as he was concerned about security problems and losing ATP ranking points.[4][5]
Also, Samantha Stosur (Australia) decided not to compete in the games for she was to take part in the tournament in Beijing (Premier Mandatory) and Osaka (to defend her title).[6]
The deadline for submission of named players was 3 September 2010.
