ITF reduces fine for Sweden
LONDON: The International Tennis Federation has reduced the fine given to Sweden because of its decision to play a Davis Cup match against Israel behind closed doors.
The ITF said on Thursday it had cut the fine to $5,000 from the original $25,000 after an appeal by the Swedes.
However, Sweden still has to pay the $15,000 which would have been earned in gate receipts had the three days of play been open to spectators.
Sweden hosted Israel in the first round of the Davis Cup in March, losing 3-2.
The best-of-five series was played behind closed doors because city officials said they couldn’t guarantee security at the venue. The IFT in April had also banned Malmo from hosting Davis Cup games for five years. — AP
